The shutdown command can also be used to bring the system
down to single user mode, in which no one can log in, but
<tt>root</tt> can use the console. This is useful for
system administration tasks that can't be done while the system
is running normally. Single user mode is discussed more
thoroughly in chapter <A HREF="#chapdaemons"><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="gif" SRC="./cross_ref_motif.gif"></A>.
