I read that there is a differance between using - halt and shutdown. Supposedly using halt runs the risk of causing a non-graceful shutdown. Is this true? I use halt just because it's shorter to type than shutdown -h now. Am I doing any damage to my system by using halt? (I rarely shutdown my pc anyway, maybe a couple times a year at most). -- Chip W www.wiegand.org chip@wiegand.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
