Is it ok to "sudo shutdown -r now" ?

[Andrew Colfelt]

Should I be working harder to stop nsm services explicitly, before issuing a "sudo reboot" or a "sudo shutdown -r now" ?

According to the reboot command man page, it just calls shutdown with the appropriate arguments, so there doesn't appear to be a difference unless you use reboot -f to force reboot.

I guess the more-specific form of the question should have been:

Do all SO processes terminate gracefully in response to "sudo shudtdown -r now", or should this be considered a practice that is dangerous to long-term stability of SO ?

Hi Andrew,

As far as I know, all processes should terminate gracefully in
response to "sudo shutdown -r now" (or just "sudo reboot" to save some
keystrokes).
