You do realize, that at some very real timescale, shutting down a system is
one
of those problems where "real time" considerations crash head-on against
the very nature of optimal scheduling in high-performance Unix systems,
don't you? If you don't, I suggest you that get educated on what a hard drive
does when it thinks that 12V is going down the drain. Regardless
of which JFS it's got on it.

Carlos.
