Subj:	Announcing DECwindows/Motif Shutdown

Have you ever dreamt of shutting down a VAXcluster or several VAXen with
one mouse click. Now here we are. DWSHUTDOWN V1.0 is now released. It runs
in an OSF/Motif environment and requires DECwindows/Motif V1.0 or later and
VAX/VMS V5.4 or later. It won't work with the Motif Developer's Kit.

Some features:

  - Shutdown time range from 0 to 120 minutes, selectable by slider
  - Nodes are selectable from a dialog box with a scrolled list
  - Shutdown options are selectable as toggle and/or radio buttons
    from a dialog box
  - All settings can be saved in a resource file

Restrictions:

  - Restore (named) options not yet supported (I don't get it running, maybe
    someone out there has an idea)
  - No online help available in this release
  - Selected node names are not saved in resource file

The package consists of 3 savesets DWSHUTDOWN010.A/B/C and can simply
installed invoking VMSINSTAL. The savesets are available via anonymous
ftp from

	olymp.informatik.uni-bonn.de in the directory
	/pub/vms/dwshutdown

as DWSHUTDOWN010.A_Z/B_Z/C_Z.

After packaging the source files I will leave them also in this directory
in a few days.

Please send any comments,suggestions or bug reports to one of the E-Mail
addresses below.

Have fun

Gregor
