====Shutdown a workstation remotely====
If a workstation becomes unresponsive, it may be possible to shut it down remotely from another workstation or personal computer, which is preferable over doing a hard power off.  These instructions were provided by Mark Blanchard.

'''1. Remote shutdown from another micro-ct workstation'''.  MAY NOT WORK FOR CLUSTER SERVER

Login as the system user.

 $ set host 0
 user:  system
 password:

Start the system manager.
 $ mcr sysman

Set the environment to the workstation to be shutdown (e.g., thomas) using its node name (e.g., sc3309).
 SYSMAN>< set env/node=sc3309

Issue the shutdown command.  Add a time delay, e.g., 5 min, if you want to give users time to disconnect and the automatic reboot flag if you want to restart.
 SYSMAN> shutdown node /min=5 /automatic_reboot

*You need to remain logged into the session running the shutdown until the other node has been shutdown completely!!!

'''2. Remote shutdown from a personal computer'''.

Begin a remote session to the workstation and login as the system user.
 
Create a detached terminal.
 $ create/terminal/detach
 
On the PC, port 6000 needs to be accessible to the micro-ct workstation and in the X-server's configuration (e.g., in file X0.hosts for Xming). 
 
Issue the shutdown command.
 $ shutdown
