Hello,

Can somebody please provide script to shutdown a server?
Any help will be appreciated

the command "shutdown" perhaps? see "man shutdown"

Code:

#! /bin/bash
shutdown -h now "Shutting down now..."

Is there something non-obvious that we should be considering?

It depends on what server you are shuting down. If it is a Oracle server you have to take of database, ASM shutdown etc before the actual server.

But wouldn't you have set these up as services, which shutdown would terminate in an orderly way?
