+.Sh NAME
+.Nm shutdown
+.Nd "close down the system at a given time"
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm shutdown
+.Op Fl 
+.Op Fl fhkrn
+.Ar time
+.Op Ar warning-message ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Shutdown
+provides an automated shutdown procedure for super-users
+to nicely notify users when the system is shutting down,
+saving them from system administrators, hackers, and gurus, who
+would otherwise not bother with such niceties.
+.Pp
+Available friendlinesses:
+.Bl -tag -width time
+.It Fl f
+.Nm Shutdown
+arranges, in the manner of
+.Xr fastboot 8 ,
+for the file systems
+.Em not to be
+checked on reboot.
+.It Fl h
+The system is halted at the specified
+.Ar time
+when
+.Nm shutdown
+execs
+.Xr halt 8 .
+.It Fl k
+Kick every body off.
+The
+.Fl k
+option
+does not actually halt the system, but leaves the
+system multi-user with logins disabled (for all but super-user).
+.It Fl n
+Prevent the normal
+.Xr sync 2
+before stopping.
+.It Fl r 
+.Nm Shutdown
+execs
+.Xr reboot 8
+at the specified
+.Ar time .
+.It Ar time
+.Ar Time
+is the time at which
+.Nm shutdown
+will bring the system down and
+may be the word
+.Ar now
+(indicating an immediate shutdown) or
+specify a future time in one of two formats:
+.Ar +number ,
+or
+.Ar yymmddhhmm ,
+where the year, month, and day may be defaulted
+to the current system values.  The first form brings the system down in
+.Ar number
+minutes and the second at the absolute time specified.
+.It Ar warning-message
+Any other arguments comprise the warning message that is broadcast
+to users currently logged into the system.
+.It Fl
+If
+.Ql Fl
+is supplied as an option, the warning message is read from the standard
+input.
+.El
+.Pp
+At intervals, becoming more frequent as apocalypse approaches
+and starting at ten hours before shutdown, warning messages are displayed
+on the terminals of all users logged in.  Five minutes before
+shutdown, or immediately if shutdown is in less than 5 minutes,
+logins are disabled by creating
+.Pa /etc/nologin
+and copying the
+warning message there.  If this file exists when a user attempts to
+log in,
+.Xr login 1
+prints its contents and exits.  The file is
+removed just before
+.Nm shutdown
+exits.
+.Pp
+At shutdown time a message is written in the system log, containing the
+time of shutdown, who initiated the shutdown and the reason.
+A terminate
+signal is then sent to
+.Xr init
+to bring the system down to single-user state (depending on above
+options).
+The time of the shutdown and the warning message
+are placed in
+.Pa /etc/nologin
+and should be used to
+inform the users about when the system will be back up
+and why it is going down (or anything else).
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width /etc/nologin -compact
+.It Pa /etc/nologin
+tells login not to let anyone log in
+.It Pa /fastboot

+.Sh BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY
+The hours and minutes in the second time format may be separated by
+a colon (``:'') for backward compatibility.
