shutdowns
Systems going offline
Shutdowns are instances of stopping operations or ceasing to function.
A government shutdown occurs when funding lapses and nonessential services halt.
A factory shutdown may be temporary for maintenance or permanent due to closure.
Computer shutdowns end all running processes and power down the system.
The term often carries connotations of disruption or crisis: The shutdown lasted three weeks and affected thousands of workers.
