I think that having a SYSSTOP script would make taking a 3000 down a much easier process. Otherwise, you have to manually abort jobs. The possibility of corrupting a file, or database, is increased by accidentally aborting a job that needs to be brought down gently. If HP could do this, it would be great. May be on 7.0, what do you say, HP. Later. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Duncombe [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, November 19, 1998 3:51 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: System Shutdown Command Script At 01:03 PM 11/19/98 -0800, Donna Garverick wrote: >Doug Werth wrote: > >> Often I have wondered why you there is a script that automatically executes >> when you boot up a system (SYSSTART) but no corresponding system shutdown >> script.

I would think (covering my ears and ..) that it would not be terribly difficult for HP to do but it is one of those things that is very difficult to do without MPE changes.
