RE: PWRDWNSYS - Trivia

I created a routine for a client after a similar thing happened to them.
They had passed through to a 2nd system on the console.  Another person went
to the console wanting to shut down the current/local system and entered the
command PWRDWNSYS.  You guessed it.  In a few minutes the people from the
remote site were ringing the phones off the hook.

I made a command placed in the syslibl ahead of QSYS named PWRDWNSYS.  This
called a CL pgm that put up a dspf that showed you the current system name
and asked you to verify that you wanted to power down THIS system by having
you enter the system name again.  If they matched it would prompt the real
QSYS command. If I remember I check the job status and only did this on
interactive jobs, to allow a batch pwrdwnsys to run normally, important when
applying PTFs.
