from kde

su -c init 0

alt ctl del, then switch off the power as soon as i hear the click of the stopped hard drive



Back when i used Gentoo and manually startx'ed into kde i wrote /bin/init.sh (the real init is /sbin/init)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
sudo init $1
so i could write init 0 as user. Now i usually shut down from within kde so dont mind typing some more when i am in the vt which is not often (i usually use konsole and not real vt)

I like the simplicity of 'halt.'

Somehow I can't shake the idea now that "Issuing 'shutdown -h now' command is the best practice for production environment."

It's inexplicable.

Sorry H_TeXMeX_H, For making big fonts


foodown If you are really experienced and you know what you are doing with commands, then you are right . Because its your experience and your understanding about the halt commands. Its not inexplicable, because situations varies up on using commands(shutdown or halt)


Who ever want to use their commands can use. But before that please read the man page one.


Thanks

I apologize, man.

I was just trying to make light of the big fonts situation.

For the record, you are correct in your assertion (I think).

@Kenny:
Out with it already! What more are you dying to share with us about '/etc/init.d/halt stop'?

I do have a digital TV card but I am not using it yet. It is not because of Linux, at least I can't blame Linux right now. My building for some reason has a lot of interference for over the air signals, analog and digital.

So all my stuff comes from the internet for now or movies I ripped onto my hard drive.

foodown hey buddy no need to apologies.

I almost spend half of my carrier for training and deployment. So I can describe bit in-depth :P

About approach:

Not every one will think in the same way, its human nature. Its about approaching the idea in different route and reaching the same destination. Understanding differs upon peoples thinking. Some body will understand concepts very easily and some body will think and pickup later. We all are included in that.

best regards,


Its all in the Game ;-)

/SIZE
Please edit the SIZE=6 out, i.e. back to normal. It would complete the apology you made in post 49

Everyone else: Please don't quote or ridicule something like this, report it.


Demonstration, I like gray, or sometimes silver, for softening the tone something that might hurt feelings:
This is what I was going to say before I read your apology -- It hurts my eyes & lowers, not raises, your credibility. Notice how you derailed the thread for several posts lesson learned, "deleted".

Thank you, I appreciate the co-operation.

H_TeXMeX_H, Kenny_Strawn, leopard: go ye & do likewise.

All: Please notice that druuna took time to edit the big font out of the quoted post in his reply.

No commands. Added a button to gnome panel to shutdown the system. I just click the red icon and system is down.
