That's why I said it's not a good option. However, you WOULD allow jobs to
end normally in case you you found out about it in the 59th minute...

NO! No! No!   The system will wait forever to power down and no new jobs
will start.  Everyone can be signed off yet some printer will be hung at a
load form type messages and your AS400 will never shut down.  3600 is one
hour, now your system is off and you can start it back up.  The other way
you have to front panel kill the system, abnormal end, LONG IPL.

Restrict the command to QSECOFR and QSECOFR profile to the system console.
The only place that PWRDWNSYS should ever be run.  Confirm will be nice and
hopefully covers ENDSBS *ALL and ENDSYS commands as well.

JMHO

Pretty certain that it cannot be stopped. However, if you're worried about
that happening you have a few options:

1. chgcmddft - change DELAY from 3600 to *NOLIMIT. This will only power
down the system after the last job completes. However, in a controlled end
no new jobs are allowed. Not necessarily a good option, but gives you ample
time to keep the system up and let jobs end normally. Just gently get all
users to sign off...
