Avoid an immediate restart after system updates
Authored by: chris_on_hints on Jul 05, '06 07:52:31AM

I am a little more gentle with the software update app - I purposely have a textedit window open with hasn't been saved. When I hit restart in software update, it will close apps before logging out. When it gets to textedit, it will ask if I want to save changes - hit cancel there, and the logout/restart process is cancelled.

Obviously, this tip works in any app with an unsaved document open. Oh, and X11 too if you have anything running.
