Shut AIX Down
After finally getting an install to work (thanks to Rick
Ekblaw) I tried to figure out howtheheck to shut it down. AIX does not
appreciate being powered off...
Pete Backhouse saves me with:
Just a simple 'sync; sync; halt' should do it... (add
an additional 'sync'
if you're feeling paranoid!) that's all we have ever used on our aix
systems...
The god-Emperor replies with:
It worked. A little odd since the system does'nt say anything
until "halt" is processed.
This assumes you are logged in as root (aixps2# is the
default prompt!)
aixps2# sync <return>
aixps2# sync<return>
aixps2# halt<return>
then it shuts down...
Start X Under AIX
Pete Backhouse says:
Just type "init" at the prompt.
Shut Down X
> Good question- how do I shut down x? I used "Exit" on the
TWM menu, but all that did was to clear the desktop to no icons at all. The
"X" cursor moves on the gray pattern screen, but no key combinations get
me back to the command prompt...
Pete Backhouse says:
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill x-server.
