Restart quickly via fast user switching
I'm not sure what exactly he means by this... If you try to shut down or restart the computer while two users are logged in, a dialog comes up asking for an administrator's username and password, informing you that by continuing all other users will lose unsaved changes. My understanding (and perhaps I'm wrong here) is that OS X will basically just kill every process belonging to that user without giving it a chance to clean up after itself. While most programs should deal with this OK, I'm still reluctant to come anywhere near endorsing that as a good thing to be doing on a semi-regular basis. Besides the obvious problem of losing all your unsaved documents, programs leave temp files around, preferences might not be saved, a program could be killed in the middle of writing important data to disk and in the process corrupt a data file. I'm not saying any of this will happen, but it still seems like a poor thing to be doing unless absolutely necessary.

Sounds to me like it just restarted the login partition and not the core system.

This is not true, I have 3 user accounts set-up, 2 of them are admin accounts, one is a regular user. Whenever you try to reboot in either one account you have to supply an admin username + password.

here's my question:

READ! He said: "I mistakenly rebooted from her account after adding a new screensaver."

---
READ! He said: "I mistakenly rebooted from her account after adding a new screensaver." So: he acknowledges that is was a mistake to do in the first place, but doing something mistakenly, he thought he discovered something new and is sharing that with the rest of the world! --- He doesn't "acknowledge it was a mistake to do in the first place". He seems to be saying that the mistake part was not that he rebooted, but that he "rebooted from her account". For all we know he still thinks you need to reboot anytime you add screensavers. |
