A gracefull way of shutting down a switch

Is there a way of gracefully shutting down a switch (CatOS) and a router (IOS) short of powering them down?
Thanks.

Sorry, just to be clear you shut down the interfaces
upstream from the device you wish to isolate.
i.e RTR ------------- SW
RTR shutdown interface SW offline
As the RTR is still live on the network you can do a no shut on the interface to bring the SW back online.
RTR no shutdown, SW back online.

Ways of shutting down a headless Mac Mini unit

Aside from setting for a time for it to shut down automatically and hard shut down, are there other ways of shutting down a headless Mac Mini?

Thanks. I'm planning on connecting my Mac Mini to my router and make it stream media through the network. I just figured out a primitive way of shutting it down without the need of a mouse/keyboard/monitor, because it will be without any of those, using the apple script email shutdown. I know it's kinda dumb but it's worth a try.

EEM -automatic shut down or switch over of WAN link in OSPF when packet drop increase

Hi,
Need help..
can any one help me how can EEM help for automatic shut down or switch over of WAN link in OSPF when packet drop increase a predefined level.
I have a set up different branches connected together...OSPF is the routing protocol and need to communicate with two branches via hub locations.
need to shut or switch some percent of traffic from primary to back up when packet drop in the link.

I am not sure EEM can do what you want.
Another option could be to use SLA tacking/monitoring. But you will fall back to the new route when you lose some percentage of pings, you can't switch only part of the traffic.
I hope it helps.

It's there a way to shut down a macbook if it was stolen?

it's there a way to shut down a macbook if it was stolen?

Is it already stolen or are asking if it gets stolen in future?
In either case, if you have iCloud setup, you can do better than shut down. You can lock it remotely and 'usually' locate it using iCloud:
Here's how to set it up for your Mac:

External hard drive won't shut down after switch from OS10.5 to OS10.4.11

i recently chanded my OS from 10.5 to 10.4.11 (as a programme i want to use is not compatible with leopard), but since i have done this my external hard-drive won't shut down automatically when i shut down my mac. i have to switch it off at the plug instead.
can anyone suggest how i can get it to do this again?
i'm a little concerned that i'm damaging the external drive by turning it off manually all the time..
thanks

Some hard drives shut off with shutdown, some don't. Sometimes hard drives that did shut off with one system will not do the same with a different system. My hard drives which did shut off, prior to 10.5 now stay on.
This is not really a problem as all hard drives spin down after 10- 20 minutes when not in use, whether your computer is on or off. Leaving the drive on is fine, shutting it off manually is fine.

What is the best way to shut down an iMac that has frozen during a data transfer? The disk I was writing to will not eject. Stopping "copy items to" doesn't work either_ it is frozen as well. Is there a way to force eject the disk so I can shut down?

Some more information on the above: OS: 7.2
1. None of the shutdown commands would work so I held the power button down and received a prompt that asked if I wished to force eject the drive, I selected
the force eject and then shut down.
2. Just recently I installed an eSATA _ Thunderbolt_ port multiplier compliant PCIe card (Seritek Q6G) into a thunderbolt external chassis (OWC Helios) (seritek Q6G).
This freeze data transfer also happened when I connected a Firmtek 5PM external tower to the iMac via thunderbolt cable.
The driver for the seritek Q6G was installed in the iMac previous to connection of any of the devices.
Both external towers mount ok on the iMac but have frozen during data transfer.
The initial freeze was with the Firmtek 5PM which is (JBOD)_ I thought that might have had something to do with the freeze_ it being JBOD_ so next I tried the Mercury Elite AL Pro Q2- which is formated in RAID 5. But then froze too.
Anybody have any experience with this?
Maybe I need another driver?
Or maybe some update to my OS?
Any suggestions welcomed.
Thank you

Hello BDAqua, thanx for the suggestions. Before I saw this reply I tried to first quit the finder and then to relaunch the Finder but that resulted was a blank gray screen.
In the end I ended up having to power down the iMac.
Fortunately the RAID array that was "active" seems to be fine and also has a firewire 800 connection so I can use it_ just not with thunderbolt until this issue is solved.
I'm going to check in the Applications>Utilities>system log to see if any clues are evident_ thank you for the suggestion.
PS: Nothing of note was obvious as a root cause in the Activity Monitor though.
hmmm....I was told that the Helios and seritek card were compatable and that the Helios didn't require any drivers..it will be a drag if there isn't an easy fix for this since this new PCIe card from seritek is the first to offer port multiplier compatibility for eSATA to thunderbolt...since they are both new I'm hoping that an OS upgrade will be the fix (presently7.2)...we shall see.

Each time I try to print a .pdf file, I get a message that Visual C ++ has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way and shuts down so I can't print the document.

How do I get rid of this problem so I can print pdf documents?

If repairing doesn't work, then try a clean install. You will need to run the Acrobat/Reader Clean script: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat Cleaner Tool - Adobe Labs

HT201413 My iphone shut down, I started the restore process as detailed by various other users. However the Iphone shuts down while restoring and when it switches back on I get message from Itunes with error 21. I now can't access the Iphone at all.

My Iphone started shutting down and switching back on by itself. After researching problem, lots of results pointed towards restoring phone. I commenced the process and all was going well until the phone shut down during the restore and Itunes then flagged up an error 21 code. I now am stuck as the phone is in restore mode but I can't stop it switching off during the process.

iTunes error code 21 is a security software conflict and the recommended knowledge base article for troubleshooting is: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125 Check through that and see if it helps. If nothing works you may need to visit the Apple genius bar and have one of those people help clear it.

My computer starts, bar completes half way and the system shuts down. Dont know what happened.

Starting abnormally, Like when I start my MacBook pro which is almost new. A bar runs on the white screen and then when it reached half way system shut down. Can anyone help. Any way to reset my computer.
Also, when I am going to option, the system doesn't allow me by saying hard disk is locked. Kindly help out

OS X- Gray progress bar appears under Apple logo during startup
I suggest you need to erase your drive and reinstall OS X. Be prepared for the possibility that your hard drive has failed.
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

Shutting down or restarting my Pre causes software to change and limit email/text/contact functionality.

Hi all,
I just got back from a two week vacation, which happened to be just about a week after 1.4. First off, before my vacation, I noticed a couple of weird things happening:
Universal search wasn't working, except for applications and phone numbers. So if I slid open my phone and started typing, I'd get no contact results and no option to search the web/wikipedia/etc. Searching for something like "contact" would bring up a result for the contacts app though
Clicking on the messaging app would register on the screen like I had clicked on it and it was about to open up, but it would never actually follow through. It didn't lock the phone up, it just registered that you had clicked on it and never did anything about it. This meant no messages of any sort, including text messages .
Certain folks phone numbers had disappeared. Not everyone, but a few scattered throughout. Their contact information remained, just sans phone number.
When opening the email application, am greeted with simply a white page, and the +app button in the lower left. Going to accounts, my two emails accounts aren't accounted for at all( gmail and a work imap ). Unable to re-add either account.
So I figure something's gone wonky in the 1.4 update and that before I go off traveling for two weeks, I'll just hard reset it to make sure everything works. I do that, everything seems to work fine, grab my spare battery and I'm off. Unfortunately, no luck. I'm in Washington DC and all the same problems are popping up. Especially bad not being able to get text messages. Fortunately, internet and the phone application work. I took it in to a repair store, and they told me I was going to need to replace my phone, but they wouldn't be able to get one to me until after I had already went off to NYC.
So I get to NY, my phone still isn't working - though all of the above problems aren't totally consistent. Sometimes it seems like everything is working. Sometimes all of the problems are happening at the same time. I run the diagnostic tests and get a result of 100- bad memory. So I finally get a new phone from Sprint in Brooklyn, and get everything set back up. Hurray for the cloud and palm profile here - saved me oodles of time and was pretty close to seamless. Except for the random deleted phone numbers. Anyway, everything seems to be working fine, no issues. My battery ends up running low on me later that night, so I shut it down and put in my backup battery.
Bam! Back to the same issues. Now mind you, this is on a new phone from Sprint( I watched him switch it over, so I'm certain they didn't just tell me I was getting a new one ). The only things that are the same are my batteries, the back( it's a touchstone backpiece ) and my profile. The issues seem to occur with both of my batteries, and the sprint guy seemed to think they were in ok shape. I can't imagine it's the backplate, though I haven't tried with a different one yet. So I'm left thinking it's my profile.
Now the odd part - very consistently after a reset my phone works beautifully. The first time I shut it down or restart it the issues pop up and don't go away. I've tried canceling all of my applications from loading, deleting all installed applications( installed via the app store only ), etc with no success. It's kinda driving me nuts now. It doesn't seem to be hardware based, the sprint store guys haven't been very helpful past replacing the phone the first time, and I'm not sure where to go next.
TL;DR: I'm having phone issues that appear to be related to my palm profile and am unsure as to how to go about solving them.
Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for the help.
I've done as you've suggested and so far it seems to be working. It's been about 30 hours now, I've drained the battery all they way down once, and when I get home this evening I'll try shutting down and switching to my backup battery just to double check that that works. Otherwise, it certainly seems as if it's a profile issue.
So, if that is the case, is it going to be possible to get my contact information that was stored on my old profile? I don't really use the calendar too much, so that's not a huge issue, but I would also like to get my paid apps back too if possible, or some sort of credit so I can buy them again.
Thanks again for the help,
Ryan
Edit: I just swapped out batteries and as expected, everything still works so does look like the profile.

Mac hangs up on shut down

Hi everyone. I'm experiencing a hang up issue as I'm attempting to shut down or restart my Mac. I've attempted numerous fixes including verifying permissions, running fsck -fy, creating a new user account, but with no luck. When you click shut down, it basically removes everything from the screen except the background and after about 3 seconds, the grey wheel will spin and it hangs at that point. I've left it spinning for hours. I did snoop around in the log, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing the problem. I also downloaded Onyx and cleaned up a bunch of stuff, but to no avail. When I attempt to shut down, no other programs are running, other than Finder. The Mac will shut down if I push the switch in the back, but that's not a good way to shut down obviously.
Here is the log file from the point of shut down. There were no logs in the "Crash Reporter" folder. The problem may be something involving launchctl or launchd, but I'm not sure. Please help. Thanks a bunch!

You may be able to repair this with the 10.5.7 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
