NAME
zshutdown_notify - notify users of impending shutdown via Zephyr
SYNOPSIS
zshutdown_notify
DESCRIPTION
zshutdown_notify
reads the standard input until EOF is reached, and then sends a Zephyr
notice with the official hostname, the collected input, and a warning
message as the message body of the notice.
The notice is sent to class FILSRV, instance
<hostname>,
recipient "*", where <hostname> is the official hostname of the sending host.
Any users who are using resources on the sending host are expected to
subscribe to these messages so they will be warned of any impending
shutdowns.
zshutdown_notify
is usually invoked from within
/etc/shutdown.
