- Description
- The ftpshut command provides an automated shutdown procedure that a
- superuser can use to notify ftp users when the ftp server is shutting
- down.
-
- The time is the time at which ftpshut will bring the ftp servers down.
- It may be the word `now', indicating an immediate shutdown, or specify a
- future time in one of two formats: + number or HHMM. The first form
- brings the ftp servers down in number minutes. The second brings the
- ftp servers down at the time of day indicated, using a 24-hour clock
- format.
-
- Ten minutes before shutdown, or immediately if ftpshut is timed for less
- than ten minutes, new ftp access will be disabled. This time may be
- adjusted through the -l flag.
-
- Five minutes before shutdown, or immediately if ftpshut is timed for
- less than five minutes, all current ftp connections will be discon-
- nected. This time may be adjusted through the -d flag.
-
- The [ warning-message ... ] will be formatted to be 75 characters wide.
- ftpshut knows about the actual string length of the magic cookies.
-
- The following magic cookies are available:
- %s time system is going to shut down
- %r time new connections will be denied
- %d time current connections will be dropped
