Requires you pass user and password to the script so that it can connect to the OPA0 console via "telnet" and execute the shutdown commands. The "guest_shutdown.exp" script, located in the /opt/charon/utils folder, can perform operations to:

• log off a user connected on the console if the prompt is detected,
• enter a username/password to login if "login:" or "username:" is detected,
• execute the shutdown command if the prompt is detected,
• detect the SRM prompt (>>>) to issue the "power off" command (AXP) or send the F6 key (AXP & VAX) if enabled.

This method is useful if the virtual machine has no telnet connection available and cannot handle "rsh" and "ssh" remote connections.

Important notes:

• Note any local existing connection to the console has to be killed before executing the expect script.
• If the console is locked from an external connection or if the prompt is not detected after sending a carriage return, the expect script will fail.

Requires:

• a trust to be created between the Linux server and the Tru64 or OpenVMS guest (proxy) to issue password free remote commands
• if the virtual machine is running OpenVMS, the CHARON_SHUTDOWN.COM script, located in the /opt/charon/utils folder, has to be copied in the SYS$MANAGER folder on the OpenVMS machine.

Requires:

• a secured trust to be created between the Linux server and the Tru64 or OpenVMS guest (key pair) to issue password and passphrase free remote commands
• if the virtual machine is running OpenVMS, the CHARON_SHUTDOWN.COM script, located in the /opt/charon/utils folder, has to be copied in the SYS$MANAGER folder on the OpenVMS machine.
