Method for implementing an unplanned shutdown of a computer system
First Claim
1. A method for managing system actions on a computer network, having at least a first computer and a plurality of second computers, the method comprising:
- initiating a system action sequence in response to a received command;
transmitting information about the system action sequence to the second computers;
receiving feedback information about the system action sequence from the second computers; and
selectively performing one of continuing the system action sequence, canceling the system action sequence, or reinitiating the system action sequence at a later time, based on the feedback information.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for managing system actions on a network. In one exemplary embodiment, there is provided a method for managing system actions on a computer network, comprising the steps of initiating a system action sequence in response to a received command, transmitting information about the system action sequence to one or more user computers or administrator computers, receiving feedback information about the system action sequence from one or more user computers or administrator computers, and selectively performing one of continuing the system action sequence, canceling the system action sequence, or reinitiating the system action sequence at a later time, based on the feedback information.
