This thread has kind of degraded into something relatively nonsensical.
The primary lesson to be learned here is that all actions have
consequences. So as long as you're prepared to accept the consequences
(and hopefully not harm anyone in the process), it's not really a problem.

Iggy, I'd imagine that if the stakes get a little higher at some point in
the future, and if you stick with UNIX as an operating system, you'll
change your practices a bit and live with the burdensome inconvenience of
typing in the `shutdown' command.

ObClassiccmp: Especially if you're running older UNIX operating systems
on classic hardware. :-)
