The prompt endings
change from a colon
(:)—indicating a
system operator
login—to a pound sign
(#)—indicating a
superuser login.
1. Select all servers.
2. At the console, type
su
to become a superuser and type the superuser
password. The prompts will appear as follows:
NRCS-A: su
Password:
NRCS-A#
For security reasons, the console does not display the password you
type.
3. Idle the system, by doing the following:
a. Type
offline
to take the system offline.
The
offline
command prevents users from logging in.
b. Type
broadcast
followed by the message warning users
already logged in that processes will be stopped. Include the time
the system will be shut down. Here is an example:
NRCS-A: broadcast WARNING!Log out in 5 Min.
The broadcast command broadcasts a message to all users logged in
at present.
4. At the specified time, select one server and type the command
list
s
to check who is still logged in and which server programs are still
running.
A message similar to the following appears:
The
list s
command displays the device controlling the session, the
user account used for the session, and the server servicing the session.
In the example, the first line starts with an S, indicating a server
(utility) program, such as a monitor server. The 3-digit number after
the S is the device number.
