Try using the "init 5" command to shut the server down instead. Here's an example of how to do it:
jack at solarisunix:~$ pfexec init 5 I think the more old school UNIX way of shutting down a server in Solaris is "init 5" for complete shut down, "init 6" for a reboot, and "init 0" for a halt without turning the power off. In Linux, the numbers are slightly different: "init 0" for complete shutdown (power off) and "init 6" for a reboot. This is because run level 0 is halt in Solaris whereas run level 0 is power-off in Linux. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
