powerdown from the command line

Hi,
How can i turn off my workstations (c8000 or B2600) from the command line ?
The "shutdown" command or the "init" command shutdown the system but leave the power on.
Regards,
Olivier

Have you tried shutdown -h, to halt?

Hi Olivier,

There is no command to shut down and power off from HPUX, however you can

shutdown -hy 0

and then login to the MP
from there go to the CM and use the PE command to power off.

Re: powerdown from the command line

Since there is no GSP/MP/ILO in a workstation, you cannot use this feature.
You can only halt this box, use the power button to switch it off.

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

The "shutdown -h" command shutdowns the system but leave the power on.

If a press the ON/OFF button, the system is shutdown then the power is turned off

That is correct and how it should be, apologies on previous post I was in 'server mode'!
