I need to force a shutdown on about 200 servers, I tried using a blank script then changing the bigfix properties to shutdown after 1 min, but it hangs there, so I need to force a shutdown and close the applications its running.

Hey jskim,

Issuing a blank action with the force restart shutdown behavior should work just fine… When you say “it hangs there”, what do you mean?

Ben,

I issue the shutdown and it hangs on an application, I want to force to shutdown the system and close all the application. I ran a blank script and it didn’t close the application. I also input dos shutdown -f in the action script but it did not run. How can make sure it does a force shutdown and closes all the applications?
