CP SIGNAL SHUTDOWN causes the standard Linux shutdown process to be executed, 
through
the init scripts.

If the software you mention contains quiesce or shutdown commands in the init 
scripts,
it will be executed with SIGNAL SHUTDOWN.

The big question then is of the time frame. Is 90 seconds enough time to 
guarantee that
the software is all shutdown before CP pulls the rug out from under the virtual 
machine?
THAT is what you need to make sure of. Your shutdown timer may have to be 
changed.

The shutdown timer can be set system wide, so that it does not need to be 
specified on
each command.
