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).
