Applies to User Roles:

You must have the SysAdmin capability word to use this procedure.

To do a delayed shutdown of the server:

  1. Click System Administration > Ongoing Maintenance > System > Shutdown.
    The System Shutdown Confirmation form opens.
  2. Click Advise and Shutdown.
  3. In the text field provided, type the number of seconds you want the system to wait before it shuts down.
  4. Click Advise and Shutdown.

    Service Manager broadcasts the following message to all connected users:

    System will SHUTDOWN in <n> seconds; please finish and log off.

    The value <n> is the number of seconds you entered for the delay. After the specified number of seconds passes, Service Manager stops disconnecting all currently connected clients and refusing any further client connections until the server has been restarted.

    Note:  Service Manager also disconnects the client you used to shutdown the server.
