Imran,

Reload. You can use 'reload' to force a reboot, but the only sure way to
power it off is to flip the power switch or disconnect the power cable.
If you are going to do this, make sure you have saved the memory('write
memory') first, otherwise unsaved changes will be lost. 

 

Here is a link the Cisco PIX Command Reference for v6.2. You can google
it: "site:cisco.com pix command reference 6.2" to find the other trains.

thanx Valentino  but cisco does not support shutdown command. cisco os
is CLI based and linux os is CLI based but they are not the same they
have differents 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.
