It means you have to shutdown the system yourself, because shutdown -k won't do it. The -k option just logs out any users and prevents further logins. From the manual: -k Kick everybody off. The -k option does not actually halt the system, but leaves the system multi-user with logins disabled (for all but super-user). Maybe you're searching for something that really shuts down the system? Check those options: -h -> shutdown and halt system (don't power off) related command: halt -p -> shutdown and power off system related command: poweroff -r -> shutdown and reboot system related command: reboot See "man shutdown" for details. On macOS, you'll probably have local access to the manuals. :-) > Also in addition to the above question.... > > does the fact that those commands do actually work mean that I am correct > in > > believing that there is a FreeBSD OS embedded in my system? FreeBSD's userland is in fact part of the macOS software. But it uses a different kernel (Darwin).
