When I need to take down the fileserver,
dutifully broadcast to the users that the server will
be going down in some number of minutes.
Of course some users log off, some ignore the 
mesage and some are not at their PCs.
Whatever they do, when I bring down 
the fileserver, most of them find that their 
PCslock up.  What is the proper procedure for 
downing a server in socially responsible way?
Is there some instructions I should give the users 
as to what they should do?
