step one:

                               shutdown (part of eStyler) includes a
                               undocumented automated process-killer. Any
                               executable program which is listed in eStyler's
                               "kill list" will be automatically killed
                               (forced to terminate), if it is running, during
                               shutdown. (This is useful for programs which
                               may hang or generate annoying prompts which
                               prevent a smooth shutdown.) SHUTKILL is a REXX

I find the files above in my filebase. I don't use one of them, so no 
experience available.


You may look at HOBBES for them.


You should avound setboot because it will NOT shutdown the filesystems properly 
resulting in possibility to loose data.
