The following method works for us as we use it every week to auto
shutdown the machine & restart using AUTORESTART/ix.

!job SYSHALTJ,MANAGER.SYS
!purge syshaltd.batchdta.sys>$null
!file syshaltd=syshaltd.batchdta.sys;dev=disc;rec=-80,,f,ascii
!echo pause 20 >> *syshaltd
!echo debug wl nmcall("nl.pub.sys/system_abort") >> *syshaltd
!save syshaltd.batchdta.sys
!startsess 20;syshaltj,manager/xxxxxxx.sys/xxxxxxxx;hipri;&
!nowait;parm=-1;info="syshaltd.batchdta.sys"
!eoj
