Re: Shutdown command in Terminal

[Tim Collier]

Interesting observation that I thought I post here.  I love reading 
about terminal commands and such and as soon as I see them, I have to 
try them.  I just did 'sudo shutdown -r now' and it worked just fine.  
It said in the manual to also see reboot and halt commands.  I tried 
reboot 'sudo reboot' and it restarted, at that time, I decided to boot 
into single user mode which it did.....as fsck was running, the fan 
sped up REALLY FAST!  REALLY LOUD!  Fsck finished and I typed exit and 
the system started to boot and the fan spun down to it's usual 'barely 
audible level.  Just thought I'd let you know......this is the new 20 
inch G5 iMac.

In OS 10.1 and 10.2, the Terminal command "sudo shutdown now" would 
put the machine into command line mode. In 10.3, the computer 
responds to "sudo shutdown now" with the following message:
Exterminate all rational thought.
