When the System Does Not Respond Normally

To halt a system that is hung, or frozen, and unresponsive to commands:
1. If your system is on a network, wait a few minutes before proceeding.
Your system's slow response may be due to network problems or delays. Check
with the person in charge of your network. If the response is not due to the
network, go to the next step.
2. Press Stop-a (or Break).
If you use a Wyse
with your SPARCstation 5 system unit, press Break instead of Stop-a.

# /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g60 -i0

# /usr/etc/shutdown -h +1
The operating system warns other users of your system of the impending
shutdown, and then halts itself after a one-minute delay. If you wish to
provide a longer delay, see the man page for shutdown(1).
The system responds with system halt messages followed by an ok prompt.
When the ok prompt appears, you can safely turn off the power in the proper
sequence.
