NAME

       zshutdown_notify - notify users of impending shutdown via Zephyr

SYNOPSIS

       zshutdown_notify

DESCRIPTION

       zshutdown_notify  reads  the  standard input until EOF is reached, and then sends a Zephyr
       notice with the official hostname, the collected input,  and  a  warning  message  as  the
       message  body  of  the  notice.   The notice is sent to class FILSRV, instance <hostname>,
       recipient "*", where <hostname> is the official hostname of the sending host.

       Any users who are using resources on the sending host are expected to subscribe  to  these
       messages so they will be warned of any impending shutdowns.

       zshutdown_notify is usually invoked from within /etc/shutdown.
