shutdown command

Hi,

After issuing shutdown -F or shutdown -F now my server is getting restarted.

Any Idea?

What did you want it to do ? To halt , I would use shutdown -Fh.

Hmm, check the SMS boot options, I think you can set the shutdown and restart policy in SMS and it probably has a restart option set.

What type of system is it? Most have the SMS options listed on the IBM website.

"lsconf | head" or "prtconf | head" should probably show the system.

init 5

or

shutdown -i 5 -g0 -y
