Zephyr
SYNOPSISzshutdown_notifyDESCRIPTIONzshutdown_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.

down.
