- I notice two shutdown programs.
- /usr/distbin/shutdown and /sbin/shutdown.
-
- The distbin/ one understands -todos, the sbin/ one does not.
-
- Why two shutdown programs? What's the difference? Why doesn't
- the sbin/ one understand -todos?
-
- When I do /sbin/shutdown, it does a bunch of stuff and leaves me at
- the # prompt. Then, if I execute it again, it does some more stuff
- and leaves me at login:. Man shutdown does not really tell me enough
- to understand this behaviour. What's going on?
-
- The last time I used distbin/shutdown -todos, it complained: "can't
- make dos bootable". Why not?
