POFFD(8)              NetBSD/x68k System Manager's Manual             POFFD(8)


NAME

     poffd -- x68k shutdown daemon


SYNOPSIS

     poffd [shutdown-program]


DESCRIPTION

     poffd looks at the power switch of x68k.  When the switch is turned off,
     poffd executes shutdown-program (using /bin/sh -c).

     If the system is started by x68k's RTC timer, shutdown-program is exe-
     cuted when the system's shut down time (predefined using other utility,
     SX-Window Control Panel and rtcalarm(8) for example) arrives.

     The argument shutdown-program may contain the character `%'. It is sub-
     stituted with a number which indicates the way how the system was
     started:
           0    Front power switch
           1    External (I/O slot) power signal
           2    RTC alarm

     This is useful when choosing the shutdown message.

     If the argument shutdown-program is omitted, `/sbin/shutdown -r +1' is
     executed instead.
