JdeBP<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/@witewulf" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@witewulf</a> That's a painful lesson.The annoying thing is that for years it used to be the case that these things weren't multiple personality. If you wanted to *halt*, the command was haltsys(ADM).Now, poweroff/halt/haltsys/reboot/&al. all have options where they can pretend to be each other. systemd is the main culprit for this. upstart and other toolsets didn't go quite as far as systemd's tools do. I did for compatibility, but I've never liked it.<a href="https://tty0.social/tags/SCOUnix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCOUnix</a> <a href="https://tty0.social/tags/shutdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shutdown</a>

JdeBPToday's random tidbit:SCO Unix had a divvy(1) command, that literally divvied-up disc volumes into root, swap, badblocks, and whatnot.<a href="https://tty0.social/tags/SCOUnix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCOUnix</a> <a href="https://tty0.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://tty0.social/tags/Unix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Unix</a>
