Newbie shutdown question

Shutdown command to reboot solaris box?

shutdown -y -i 6

is it with a space between the "-i" and the "6"
or is it like this:

shutdown -y -i6

does it matter?

 

[bsek]

#/usr/sbin/shutdown –y –i 6
This command will shutdown unix system by sending out a warning at 2 minutes, 1 min. and 30 seconds. It will not ask you any questions to confirm. It will bring it back up to normal running mode.

Also,

You can do,
#init 6 Note: This command do not send any messages.

 

[telemorgan]

so there should be a space between the -i and the 6 then?

Thanks

I think there was no difference if you give space or not. I tried on my test box... see below,

Without space:


bash-2.05# /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i6
