maybe doing a reboot also will help by adding the -r switch?  (shutdown 
-h now -r)  That should reboot the CAS remotely and you'll be able to 
get back in after it comes up.  I run a ping -t session to the IP 
address to alert me when it is responding again.  Of course if it hangs 
in the boot process that's a problem...
