os 9(!) trick
Authored by: Hes Nikke on Mar 05, '02 06:33:45AM

there is also my favroite Mac OS 9 trick to cancle a shutdown/restart: launch an application! sherlock is nice and handy set to cmd-f ;)

oddly this trick doesn't work with Mac OS X! the launched application will bounce in the dock (or may even come all the way up!) then the dock will disapear and you'll log out.. odd...

Seems to work under 10.2.6
Just click an app (say, X) on the dock while the logout is quitting other apps and you'll get a message saying app X cancelled logout.
