[comp.sys.ncr] Missing &/or non-functioning programs

TEMNGT23@ysub.ysu.edu (Lou Anschuetz) (10/28/90)

Just a couple more general questions.  According to my manuals I am
supposed to be able to issue a shutdown -p#min and have the system
automagically restart after a shutdown and some period of time.  What
happens now is that after a shutdown I am automagically transported
via my automobile to physically turn the machine off (wait) and then
back on to effect a shutdown reboot.  Any one having any luck with
this command on SysV.3 (1.01.00)?

Second, I am supposed to have a command called /etc/sdloglock to keep
additional people from logging in and allowing me to do a shutdown
(or reboot).  Did a find / (etc) with no luck on any variant of this
command.  Anyone got it and willing to share???

Thanks in advance.  BTW, my machine is performing 300+ dialup logins
per day and handling it very well thank you.  The only problem is the
dreaded getty (or shell) that won't die, so a daily reboot is called
for.  Otherwise, super job!

I've been using the /etc/reboot command. There is an on-line manual page.
On older systems, it is named /menu/obj/reboot.o.
