[OpenIndiana-discuss] reboot/shutdown commands (Was: Re: OI boot problem)

[Deano]

Regardless of what Solaris does, what Linux does and so on. Clarity and
future userability of OPEN INDIANA is more important than all other concerns
and for that reason alone reboot and shutdown, should be available by
default and do exactly what they say on the tin.

Let's not get stuck as a legacy OS, or if that is what OI is meant to be
lets state that so we don't work hard trying to cater for new users!

Bye,
Deano

It kind of makes sense -- if you're on Solaris you need to use
"shutdown -i 6 -g 0" to reboot, and on everything else you need to use
"reboot" or "shutdown -r".  ;)

(This holds true for at least the BSDs, OS X (IIRC), Linux, HP-UX, and AIX.)

Cheers,
