How to cleanly shut down when things go wrong
Authored by: paineless on Sep 12, '04 03:13:07PM

The failure of the shutdown command in the GUI is a problem I've seen repeatedly, but it seems to be hardware specific. I have had several revisions of the OS on a 450Mhz G4, all the way up to 10.3.4 and under every one, I have this problem. But very rarely does it occur on any other system I have run. Sometimes, but not always, quitting the Classic environment and ejecting all network volumes before selecting the Shutdown command from the menu avoids the problem, but not doing these two things almost always causes the command to fail, necessitating a trip to the terminal.
