perhaps I'm naive, but...

I have frequently done a "halt" on the ADSM (TSM) server when it's
busy.  it
always comes back up, no problem, and picks up where it left off.

So what is the concern? i mean why do you need to carefully cancel
every process and every sesssion and unmount every tape
before you shut it down?
