Always do a *cntrld.
Years back, I was not allowing enough time on the *cntrld, thus my IPL would always show last shutdown was *ABNORMAL.
This can cause issues.
Especially on a i5/OS upgrade and/or migration.

I have a process that I end 99% of the jobs first.
Followed by
PWRDWNSYS DELAY(60) RESTART(*YES) IPLSRC(B)

Probably worse because I think it's a quick power off sequence.

If power is cheap leave it on.

Otherwise PWRDWNSYS. I always did a PWRDWNSYS *IMMED.

I must have read something wrong a few years ago. I've had in my head
that it was doing some sort of suspend. You know how reading IBM docs is..
haha..

So, on my 515 (V5R4) holding the power button down for 5 seconds
(while the display counts down) is the same as issuing PWRDWNSYS
*IMMED? Seems that way. :)
