Shutdown vs Halt
Under Mac OS X, the shut down command shuts down the window server and all the daemons. The halt command shuts the system down completely. Unless you have modified your system radically, "sudo shutdown now" will in fact drop you down to single-user mode.
Shutdown vs Halt
sudo shutdown now has always worked for me and does give me single user mode. But one observation recently is that after exit, the system really stalls at initializing network from roughly 10 to 30 seconds. My normal startup doesn't do that but slightly stalls at configuring network, getting network time and starting firewall. Maybe that's just on my machine, G4 867, 896 Ram, OS 10.1.2. |
