+** Slave-initiated Graceful Shutdown
+
+If the allow_shutdown parameter in buildbot.tac is set, then the slave can be
+gracefully shut down locally by the slave admin.  The shutdown operates by the
+slave informing the master that it would like to shut down; the master then
+finishes any active builds on the slave, and instructs the slave to shut down.
+See the documentation for more information.
