Solaris is a Unix-like operating system that has been in use for more than 20 years. It is a popular choice for servers and embedded systems, and it is used by many large companies. But Solaris is not without its problems. Some of them have been known for years, but they have only become more apparent in the past year or so as Solaris 10 was released. One of the most serious issues with Solaris 10 is that it does not support multiple CPUs or GPUs. This means that it cannot be used to run multiple applications at the same time, which can lead to problems when trying to do things like create a database or run a web server. Another issue with Solaris 10 is that it does not support updates from Microsoft Windows Update or other software updates. This means that users may not be able to get the latest features or fixes for their systems if they need them. These are just some of the issues that have been reported recently about Solaris 10. There are likely more that have yet to be discovered, and there are likely even more problems with Solaris 10 that we do not yet know about. If you are using Solaris 10, please take steps to update your system as soon as possible so that you can enjoy its many benefits while still being able to use some of its problems."


For every application that is installed on your server, you should make sure that you have the correct scripts in /etc/rc(x).d to gracefully shut down the service.

ShutdownYou have more than one command option that you can use. The best command is this, executed as root:

This will immediately shut the system down. You can also use the older command that still works:

You can even use:

RebootIf you are trying to reboot the system as opposed to turning it off, you could use:

Or:

Or even:

So many commands to do the same thing… almost seems silly.
