How does "shutdown" in Solaris 2.6 notify users of impending shutdown?
2007-12-25 11:39:00
responses that I got from Sabrina Downard, Harvey Wamboldt, Lee
Trujillo, and Mark Neill!
Sabrina suggested that I could modify the shutdown "script", but in
our case (Solaris 2.6), it is an executable as is shown below :
% file `which shutdown`
/usr/ucb/shutdown: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
The rest of the bunch basically said that CDE tosses all console I/O
into a bit-bucket -- unless you open a console window or as Harvey
suggested to use "xterm -C".
In our case, I cannot guarantee that each and every user has a CDE
console window up on screen (and uniconified) OR an xterm doubling as
the same thing! I guess I need to find an scripting version of
shutdown or something that I've got the source to and can modify to
fit our configuration! Any ideas?
Thanks!
