Any further suggestions to : make life of Warner easier? No. It should be "reboot" since that's the simplest thing. "shutdown now" doesn't cause the machine to reboot, but merely causes the processor to halt. It is the same thing as "halt," unless you have users on the machine, in which case they will get a nice message before the machine dies.... I'll take a look the rest of what you sent.
