WAD. Really. If you simply had a never ending job in qbatch that machine
would not go into restricted state. Ideally you should:
- shut down what you know you can in an orderly fashion
- ENDSBS SBS(*ALL) OPTION(*CNTRLD) DELAY(120) /* two minutes */
I got that 2 minutes from some IBM recommendation

If your application code doesn't test for system shutdown (I think even
RPG has an op code or bif for this) then it will keep running until the
*immed kicks in after the time limit.

The orderly stuff includes things like Domino servers, any other
application specific stuff. For example, if you have an application
waiting on a data queue and it says if you put FOAD on the data queue it
will shut itself down, then do so.

The delay is simply giving those applications that test for system
shutdown time to shut themselves down. Those that don't will have to be
beaten into submission.
