HP-UX Reference (11i v2 03/08) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

s
shutdown(1M) shutdown(1M)
in order to execute shutdown. However, if the file is missing or of zero length, the
root user
can run the
shutdown program to bring the system down.
This file does not affect authorization to bring the system down to single-user state for mainte-
nance purposes; that operation is permitted only when invoked by a superuser.
A comment character,
#, at the beginning of a line causes the rest of the line to be ignored
(comments cannot span multiple lines without additional comment characters). Blank lines
are also ignored.
The wildcard character
+ can be used in place of a host name or a user name to specify all
hosts or all users, respectively (see hosts.equiv (4)).
For example:
# user1 can shut down systemA and systemB
systemA user1
systemB user1
# root can shut down any system
+ root
# Any user can shut down systemC
systemC +
