Well, I agree that remembering shutdown -g 0 -y -i 5 for shutdown machine is not that hard. BUT that is the question I was asked from newcomers a year ago (Obviously you know where newcomers are coming from.. from Linux and very few quite new ones) and I did not told them because I also did not know. (I told him pfexec halt and he was angry at me and whole distribution for not doing full shutdown). I figured that out by being stubborn and looking at man pages, and that is what 99 percent of eventual newcomers will not do. If I told them that shutdown command needs 3 switches or looking at man pages and remembering of them, then I would be laughed at. I think everyone is thinking that old behavior should working as expected. Just There is need for a command, like /halt/ or other named that definitely shutdowns machine with one command. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
