NAME

       etc/shutdown - server shutdown control file

DESCRIPTION

       If  the  file etc/shutdown is present it describes when a HylaFAX server is to be shutdown
       and may contain a descriptive message to return to clients explaining the reason  for  the
       shutdown.  This file is used by the hfaxd(8) program.

       The file has the following format:

              <year> <month> <day> <hour> <minute> <deny> <disconnect>
              <shutdown message text>

       The  first  line  defines  the  date  and  time the server should be shutdown and the time
       preceding at which unprivileged clients should be denied service  or  disconnected;  these
       fields  are  described in more detail below.  Any lines that follow the first are taken as
       the text of a message to return to clients when notifying them of a scheduled shutdown  or
       when denying them service.

       <year>    The decimal year; e.g. 1996.

       <month>   The decimal month; e.g. 10 for October.

       <day>     The decimal day of the month in the range [1..31].

       <hour>    The decimal hour since midnight; in the range [0..23].

       <minute>  The decimal minute after the hour; in the range [0..59].

       <deny>    The  time  prior  to  the shutdown time at which to deny service to unprivileged
                 clients.  This value is specified as decimal number in the form HHMM; e.g.   130
                 for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

       <disconnect>
                 Time time prior to the shutdown time at which to disconnect unprivileged clients
                 that are logged in to the server.  This value is specified as a  decimal  number
                 in the form HHMM.

       This file is typically created using the ``SHUT'' command supported by hfaxd(8).
