How can a user shutdown system

hi i wanted to know how can a normal user shutdown in solaris 9. can somebody help me in this case.
Regards

Generally, that's a bad practice, because it can potentially bypass system security.
Be that as it may...
I tripped over this entry in SunBlogs, from 19-OCT-05
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/bnitz/20051019
It describes one approach to this topic.
It is for OpenSolaris but may be applicable to the non-open-source variety.
Give it a try.

    When you log out, uncheck the box to reopen applications. If you're still using 10.7.3, then you will have to uncheck the back with each shutdown or restart.
    10.7.4 update was suppose to fix it that when you uncheck the box, it should remain unchecked for restarts after that.

    Also your demonstration to OP how to change user password indicate that OP-level of knowing Oracle user management is such that OP maybe need help for something what is for you or me obvious...

    You will need an external drive that is formatted as MAC OS EXTENDED (journaled).
    Move the Project, Events, and any photos and music to the external drive by following the instructions in this post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4141
    Be sure to use CONSOLIDATE MEDIA to get the photos and music. Then plug this drive into your computer and you will be able to edit.

  • My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud?

    My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud? Also, does the ICloud include virus protection for files already on my Mac?

    You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store (in your 'Applications' folder), then just run the installer: however you should first check that Mountain Lion can indeed run on your Mac. Please see this page:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    You might also want to look at this page to see whether any vital applications will be adversely affected:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    In particular note that PPC applications such as AppleWorks will not run on Mountain Lion since Rosetta is not included and can't be added.

    Hi,
    You can use SimpleDateFormat class under java.text package.
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy h:mm a z", new Locale());
    //formatter.setTimeZone(timezone);
    String dateTime = formatter.format(new Date());

  • How can I open a System 7 CD on my Mac 10.6.8?

    How can I open a system 7 CD on my Mac 10.6.8?

    System 7 never came on a CD.  It might have come on a floppy.   Do you mean System 7.6 or 7.5 CD?   There is no way legally to do so on a 10.6 running computer. You need a Mac from 1995 or 1996 or 1997 that supported that disc.    System 7 history is here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_7 
    Note, if no Mac model is stated on the CD, it will run on the older Macs assuming the right amount of RAM is installed, and the CPU supported by that system.   A Mac normally will not run an older Mac OS than it shipped with.  And Mac model specific CDs will only run on that age of that model that CD shipped with.

  • How can a user (user edition) see a saved worksheet by other user

    how can a user (user edition) see a saved worksheet that was saved by another if it was saved in the database?
    thnx
    Endre

    If the user has given you permission to view their worksheet, then you should be able to open up an existing workbook as soon as you log into Discoverer. The disgression is up to the owner if you can view, or change their workbook.

  • How can a user site be remove from my computer?

    How can a user be removed from my computer? the user can't get on their site because of password encounters.
    It seem that their password has been corrupted.

    Could you provide a bit more information? Is it a local user or a network user? Would you want him to have access to his data again, or do you want to loose him with his data completely?
    Have fun

  • How can you redo initial system setup macbook pro

    How can you redo initial system setup macbook pro?

    Like when Setup Assistant fires up and lets you migrate? In general, that would imply having to do a complete reinstall. And I've always been under the impression that when you do that, the reinstall software does not contain all the extra goodies that come with a new from-factory install (such as iLife).
    But as Prof. Kappy wants to know, the specifics are very version dependent.

  • HOW CAN I EXTRACT THE SYSTEM DATE?

    HOW CAN I EXTRACT THE SYSTEM DATE?

    import java.util.*;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    public class date2{
        public static void main(String[] args){
            Date today = new Date();
            SimpleDateFormat output = new SimpleDateFormat();
            String answer = output.format(today);
            System.out.println(answer);
    }If you want to make it prettier, you can look at using a locale, or a pattern string in the SimpleDateFormat constructor. Read the Documentation.
    Note that new Date(), constructs a Date with the current Time,
    you could also use: new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
    Hope this helps
