If the guest operating systems set themselves up to be notified for
the shutdown signal, and you've defined a default shutdown interval
(which you can check with cp q signal shutdown) then by default a
FORCE command will signal the guest to shut down cleanly. You can
check which guests are set up to be notified of a shutdown with the
comomand cp q signals. Then you'd just have to hope that your
Operations staff doesn't read the help file for FORCE and find out
about the IMMED option...

Yes, I am aware of the pitfalls. However, here the "hung user"
with operating systems has always been because Operations (AKA the brain
trust) insists on using a FORCE command to log off guest operating
systems. Thus, I would NOT expect the user to "wake up" - the operating
system was already brought down.
