No, not really. As I understand AUTOLOG (and I don't :-) ) it is a mechanism
to start things, apparently with a bit of intelligence added. It does not care
about the *orderly* shutdown right before an IPL when everything is working
correctly in the first place.
And I am really surprised that they use 'cancel' instead of the appropriate
termination commands (be it a stop command if such thing exists or a 'proper'
terminate-thread-command, whatever that is).
Cancel that, I am not surprised. :-(

At my last shop, we used to items from the CBT Tape site
<www.cbttape.org> do affect automatic startups and shutdowns. Thos items
were "NETINIT" and "COMMAND". The appropriate command lists were
maintained byt the Systems Programming staff, along with documentation
for the Operations staff. Worked like a champ, since we controlled what
products were started and the sequence of startups, as well as the
appropriate shutdown sequence. We even used them to start and stop our
"automation" product.
