RE: UPS Failire.. shutdown controlled or immediate?

What is still running on the system? If your logon is the only job, and
you did not specify a time limit on the controlled powerdown, the system
will wait forever. Check all the running jobs and see if what is active
still.

Subject: RE: UPS Failire.. shutdown controlled or immediate?

Maybe I asked the wrong question, then. :) But let me answer your
questions.

1. I don't.. just got it. I've played with *IMMED and it was pretty
fast.
That was just playing.
2. For *CNTRLD which I just tested, it's been over 10 minutes. But I
only issued the PWRDWNSYS command, nothing else.
3. I'd say Im lucky to get 10-15 minutes out of my UPS. I don't want
to test it. :)

Should I be doing more than a PWRDWNSYS when shutting it down? Maybe
something that would make *CTRLD go a little faster? It's a new 515
that I'm using, BTW n V5R4.
