... From the System menu, choose the Shut Down option. First, a window that allows you to cancel the shutdown is displayed. The system waits for 60 seconds before starting the shutdown process. When the shutdown process is complete, power is turned off to the system.
#* *Shut down from the command line*
Alternately, as {{root}} from the command line, you can type the following command:
{code}
# init 5
{code}
This command also powers down the system after all of the services are stopped. For more information, see the [init(1M)|http://docs.sun.com/doc/819-2240/init-1m?a=view] man page.
#* *Emergency shutdown from the command line*
*Caution* \- Only use this option if the risk to the system is worth _not_ terminating processes and saving files properly. This option is equivalent to cutting power to the system.\\
If the system must be powered off right now, type the following command:
{code}
# uadmin 2 6
{code}
