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.
All G5 Macs (and Wind-tunnel G4's) with system-based fan control do this. When the system software isn't running to monitor the temps, the fans revert to their fail-safe mode which is full on.
