I guess you've never experienced the never ending *CNTRLED shutdown :-)

Whatever works for you. Just stay away from the white button.

In 28 years with AS/400 and IBM i I've never had an issue with PWRDWNSYS *IMMED, but I am no longer in charge of the hardware so I guess it no longer matters.

Why do you still need the V5R4 box ? Still compiling back to V5R3 or V5R2 ?

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.
