How to shut down a VCS from the command line?

[carlos.peres.santos]

Is there any command that can turn off a VCS?

Type xCommand reboot?

Regards...

Hi,

I think you cannot shutdown VCS from CLI. For that , u need to do through GUI under Maintenance --Shutdown

from CLI, u can run command xcommand  restart for restart

regds,

Aman is correct, there is no CLI command to shutdown the VCS, the only method is using the web interface.  Looking through the admin guides, in VCS releases X7.2 and earlier, this was mentioned as not being possible, however starting with X8 and later that text was removed for some reason.

If you telnet or ssh to the VCS and log in as the "root" user, then you can use the shutdown command.

Wayne is right!   Use this after ssh with root user:

shutdown -t secs: now

[nanosynth]

That doesn't shut it down. It only puts it in "Maintenance Mode"

# shutdown -t secs: now
The system is going down to maintenance mode NOW!

[abdul ilyas]

login as root and use

"shutdown -h -t secs: now".

Note: I did it just last night, ver x8.6.
