Yay, work around forced restarts.
While, as the editor notes, it's a good idea to restart when an installer wants you to, sometimes it's a pain in the butt - like if you're installing several packages, all of which require a restart to do their job. Who wants to wait a few minutes for a reboot only to do something else that'll also want to restart?
At least X doesn't seem to let all-elbows installers shut down every other program while they do their job. I always want to smack people who do that. Now, if only there was a way to deny installers from doing the lengthy task of 'optimizing system performance' to do it manually after several installs... I'm thinking of reinstalling my X from scratch due to some persistent troubles, and I dread the thought of all that optimizing.
Yay, work around forced restarts.
Even then, you need to be wary. The only time I've had OS X totally crash was when the system locked hard when I held off on rebooting. I launched an app (I forget what I installed in the first place, but it was from Software Update recently), because I just wanted to look at something real quick before restarting, and the whole system locked hard as the app icon was bouncing. |
