server wil not shutdown

What would you do when a server (V490 - Solaris 9) will not shutdown? Is this normal for Solaris 9?

Here's some of the log. I deleted sections where I ran who, prstat:

/usr/sbin/shutdown -g0 -y -i 0

Changing to init state 0 - please wait

Yes, is normal. Solaris 9 refuses to go offline. :)First, instead of shutdown, try init 0. If that doesn't bring it down, it is probably a process trying to close that can't, probably because its parent process died and it is now a zombie.

Thanks for the reply. I did not determine why Solaris would not shutdown but the problem has not reoccurred either.Thanks again,Glen
