Over the course of 30 years of VM systems programming, I and every VM
sysprog with whom I have worked, have shut down a production system
once. There is probably a SHUTDOWN EXEC on almost every VM system in
the world.
One thing that I don't understand is why in the world, the SHUTDOWN
command is ever used in anything except CP. If I remember correctly it
is also in RSCS and PVM and I suspect other IBM programs. It isn't all
that difficult to shutdown a remote system with either of them. I've
done it.
