Hi,
if you dont are for the data or the coruption or kind of thing and
want a immediate shutdown of the server use
uadmin 2 0 ( u will get ok prompt)
or use
uadmin 2 1 ( the server will reboot)
I dont kow much of unix internals but i think init 0 and init 6
internally does call these command. ( can some one help me on this ??)
This is not the greatest way to halt a server but can be handy ...
PS: USE at your risk....
Cheers
