Is there anyway to perform the following steps in a shell script from
crontab on a Sun 3/280s file server:

        1) Bring the system down to single user with the Shutdown Command

        2) umount the /usr file systems

        3) Perform a level (1-9) on the /usr file system

        4) Re mount the file systems.

        5) Bring the computer up in multi user.

I have tried putting the above commands in a script and running the script
as super user with 'nohup' set, but my script is killed when the system
goes down to single user.

Thanks for your help.
