commands and os architecture.

  I have no experience with Cisco hardware at all but from what I understand it 
run's some variant of Linux. If that's true and Linux being very similar to 
Unix I would think the following command would work:

  #shutdown -F or -f

  and maybe even

  #shutdown -HALT (not sure if the minus sign is required for HALT to work) and 
if I remember correctly HALT send's a WALL message stating that the system will 
be shutting down in ## seconds.

  Like I said, I'm just trying to help you out. If I'm wrong forgive me.

  Valentino
