From the shutdown manual "brings the system down in a secure way" instead of for example "halt -nfp" which is like turning of the power on you system. Very efficient, but usually not very productive! BB, Arjen
that is my point, shutdown seem more
efficient

Agreed, thus: shutdown is more efficient if you take into account the time for the unavoidable fsck at boot time. The tracing of lost files. The restoring from the backup or the reinstalling and configuring of your system. But halt is if you do not take this into account. Running ' sync && sync && sync && sync && halt -fp' works very quick and not really unsafe on my reiserfs system. But only use this in case of FIRE! BB, Arjen
