TCL.SHUTDOWN
Invokes orderly system shutdown procedure.
Description
initiates an orderly system shutdown sequence and should be executed before turning off or rebooting any Pick system.
Any user logged on is logged off, all process work spaces are released, all printers are stopped, all phantom jobs are logged off, and all updated memory frames are written to disk. The system is shut down.
On AP 6.1 and later, the macro 'user-shutdown' on the 'dm' account is executed, if it exists. This macro should contain any user-defined procedure to be run at shutdown time (application cleanup, network shutdown, etc...).
'Do you wish to continue (Y/N/0)?' is displayed, the '0' option is to check if this process is running on port zero before continuing. 'Y' continues the shutdown, 'N' stops the shutdown.
Options
f Invokes a :files at the end
