The SYSOPER (and other users listed in EMERGENCY_CONSOLES in SYSTEM CONFIG) will get shutdown progress messages, **but** only if they are logged on on a terminal that doesn't need an SVM to drive them. So a TELNET or VTAM terminal will be dead right after SHUTDOWN started. A sure place is indeed "Operating System Messages" on the HMC console where they always appear.
