Scheduling the shutdown of the FTP server

To schedule when the FTP server will be shut down using the FTP Server Manager:

1. If you have not already configured a shutdown file, select Options General, then enter the pathname of the file that the FTP server should use. Click on OK to accept.

2. Select FTP Server Disable.

3. Enter the date and time at which you want to shut down the FTP server.

4. Enter the number of hours and minutes before shutdown when new connections will be denied. The default value is 30 minutes.

5. Enter the number of hours and minutes before shutdown when existing connections will be closed. The default value is 10 minutes.

6. If required, you can edit the message that will warn users of the impending shutdown. See ftpshut(1Mtcp) for the magic cookies, such as ``%s'' for the shutdown time, that you can use in this message.

7. Click on OK to accept.
