3.5 Stopping the Workstation Without Turning It Off
You can shut down the ULTRIX worksystem software by typing
shutdown -h
now
at the ULTRIX prompt and pressing Return.
If you are unable to return to console mode using this shutdown command,
you can stop your workstation and all worksystem software by pressing the
halt button on the back of the system unit. The workstation and software stop
whatever they were doing, and the monitor displays the console prompt (
>>
).
Save all open work files, if you can, before pressing the halt button.
Note
It may take several seconds after pressing the halt button for your
system to respond.
Caution
Do not press the halt button while you are running any worksystem
software. This could cause the loss or corruption of data.
You can change the specific result of pressing the halt button by issuing a
console command to change the setting of the halt/action environment variable.
See Figure 3–2. Chapter 10 explains how to change this variable.
