We want to shutdown the filer in the event of a (more than 10 minute) power failure to the computer room. We have a (NT hosted) script that hits all the NT/2k servers and also telnets to the Sun server and "INIT 5"'s them.
Hunted around NOW site, and Google groups, but to no avail. Anyone got a means (either from NT/2K or Sun) to automatically remotely (but cleanly!) stop/halt the Filer. And can you power it off that way too?
No users will be operational (no UPS for the user community) so managing remote connections is not a concern.
Thanks, Peter

Configure rsh access for the IP/user of your sun and make a crontab that runs:
$ rsh <filer> halt
Of course you can test rsh access with easier commands like "sysconfig" or "echo".
Kind regards,

$ rsh <filer> halt
Using "rsh" might be a good idea(security concerns apart), i am not sure about your "crontab" suggestion though.
Instead if you have Smart-UPS from APC, it comes with s/w that can be used to shutdown Suns. There is also software for linux boxes.
I would put a script in /etc/rc3.d called KxxShutDownNetApp (K subscript would ensure that this runs only when the machine is being shutdown) make sure that the script runs only when shutdown because of Power Loss and not EVERYTIME the machine is shutdown.
Put rsh filer halt in that script.

rsh filer halt
will be enough to shutdown gracefully (filer cannot be powered off remotely). You have only to remember to add you NT host name and username (case sensitive!) to /etc/hosts.equiv on the filer.
