NetMAXFAQ : Console / X Server :
What is the proper way to logically shutdown my NetMAX server? Can I just use the shutdown, halt, or reboot commands?

Always using these commands to shutdown your NetMAX machine from the command line will ensure a logical shutdown by checking for a commit in progress and terminating daemons nicely, among other things.
The easiest way to shutdown your server, is through the NetMAX interface. From Home|Shutdown the system can be halted by using the "Immediate Shutdown" button, and it can be rebooted by using the "Immediate Restart" button. It is strongly recommended that a user halt or reboot the NetMAX from the NetMAX interface.
The Toshiba Magnia SG10 and SG20 can be easily shutdown using the buttons on the front of the appliance. Press the power button once. The LCD screen will ask if you are sure you want to shut down. Press the power button again. This will initiate the software shutdown process. Note that shutting down using this method is the same as using the NetMAX interface. Never unplug a Magnia before shutting down using one of these two methods.

When I log into the NetMAX console using X (Start X-session), both KDE and Netscape complain that they are unable to write configuration files.
