My apologies to everyone on the list.
When the message came down the pike from Tim Chase I thought it was a friend
of mine Tim Close who was looking for a quick shutdown for his new Vista
machine. My buddy Tim Close is an avid hunter hence my reference to
shotting his computer.
I haven't ran a Linux machine in over two years and thought I had shut this
newgroup off. Clearly, I didn't.
Again, my apologies to all and sundry for the off-coloured misplaced joke.
We now return you to your regular blinix programming.

If it won't shut down properly. Just fucking shoot it!
Even a blind gujy knows how to build 'em. :-)

Most of the time when I reboot my system I use
shutdown now -r instead of just reboot. What do you think?
both should do about the same thing...I believe they're usually all links
to the same underlying executable and that the executable sniffs what it
was executed as to determine proper behavior.
I'm lazy and "reboot"/"halt" are both faster for me to type and easier
for me to remember, so that's what I use.
If I need more precision for some reason (to shut down at some time other
than now), I fall back to using "shutdown", but most of the time I just
want to reboot/powerdown *right now*.
