While you may be right here, I fail to see the problem. The command "init 6" is not so hard to find, especially when someone comes over from Linux. > 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. But shutdown does not need three switches. Here are the defaults as defined in shutdown (it is a shell script): grace=60 askconfirmation=yes initstate=s So without switches, it would also work. You'd just have to wait 60 seconds longer, you'd have to type "y" in response to a prompt, and you would end up in single user mode. > 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. Really? Maybe the default "s" could be changed to "6". But other than that, I don't see a need for another command, in addition to "shutdown" and "init" and "halt/reboot" and "uadmin". :-) Regards -- Volker -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Volker A.
