shutdown
command.
CAUTION
Do not shut down Windows using Special Administration Console (SAC)
restart
or
shutdown
commands under normal circumstances.
Issuing
restart
or
shutdown
at the
SAC>
prompt causes the system to restart or shutdown
immediately and can result in the loss of data.
Instead use the Windows
Start
menu or the
shutdown
command to shut down gracefully.
To shut down Windows use either of the following methods.
•
Select
Shut Down
from the
Start
menu and choose either
Restart
or
Shut down
from the pull-down menu.
The
Restart
menu item shuts down and restart the system. The
Shut down
menu item shuts down the
system.
You can use this method when using a graphical interface to the system.
•
Issue the
shutdown
command from the Windows command line.
See the procedure “Windows Shutdown from the Command Line” on page 195 for details.
You can issue this command from a command prompt through the Special Administration Console (SAC)
or from any other command line.
The Windows
