Some UNIX-Apple humor... :)
[Editor's note: I didn't actually test this one myself, but it's late on a Sunday night and I thought it was pretty humorous ... if anyone would like to verify it, let us know if it worked!]

Did you know that when you finish your fsck check (run at startup after holding down command-S to get into single user mode), instead of typing "reboot" to go back to the System, you can type "bye bye" to accomplish the same thing?

cute, but...
ctrl-d and the command "logout" also exit single-user mode. i'm guessing that the "reboot" command actually reboots the machine, so any of these methods ("bye bye" (which I question, since there's a space in it), "logout" or ctrl-d) would be a lot faster than a full reboot.

Maybe the command is just "bye." That's an old, common "exit" type of command.
cute, but...
I've used "exit" since 10.1.2....
cute, but...
True. Since I'm on a Tibook rebooting is a daily thing.
cute, but...
Not only from 10.1.5!
cute, but...
why do you have to reboot your TiBook daily?
cute, but...
I do not have a Tbook, and I do not need to reboot daily (never said so), but I DO run some unix commands in su mode sometimes, and then I have to go back to Aqua....
'bye' is a shell command
...in the 'sh' shell, ie. /bin/sh. By default you use tcsh in the terminal but sh is the default shell in single-user mode.
'bye' is a shell command
more specifically, 'bye' is a zsh command equaling 'exit'.
Unix humour ;-)
Speaking of Unix humour, check out the BUGS section in the tunefs manpage:
Or just type exit to enter multiple-user mode again

Unless the system tells you to "reboot now" there's no need to do it. |
