If you cannot shutdown your system, then something seriously
is wrong with it. It will have nothing to do with Zope.

You may try the "reboot" command. It is similar to "shutdown"
but start "reboot"ing immediately while "shutdown" (even with "-r")
does something before it.

You might even try "kill 1" or "kill -9 1" (this the initialization
process; if killed, you *nix will go down).

*BUT* I have not much hope for you...
There are situations where only the "reset" button is able to
bring the system again in a sane state. And your description
seems to indicate such a situation...


By the way, there are tools like "RemoteConsole" which allows
you to "press" the "reset" button remotely.
Our administrators use such tools.
