We shut down our HP-UX 11.23 IPF with 'shutdown' command without '-

Was the shut down performed incorrectly?

RTFM shutdown(1M) (it's your friend)

If -r (reboot) or -h (halt) or -R (reconfig) are not specified,
standalone and server systems are placed in single-user state. Either
-r (reboot) or -h (halt) must be specified for a client; shutdown to
single-user state is not allowed for a client. See dcnodes(1M),
init(1M).
