I’m not nearly as into Linux as everyone here. I just hobby manage docker containers for a home server. That was my first foray into Linux like 2 years ago. For whatever reason, this broke me for a few seconds lol
I think doing just a poweroff might leave some services in an unclean state. I think systemctl poweroff make sure the services are shutdown cleanly before powering down.
Just
poweroffis fine. Why lose extra 2.5 seconds typing two words when one word will suffice?What?
sync ; sync ; sync ; shutdown -h nowOr nothing!
why?
It’s traditional, it used to be done that way on old systems. It was done for extra luck I suppose.
Nowadays, shutdown syncs as a matter of fact, and filesystems are much less brittle.
Gotta make sure the FS cache syncs.
Not too sure, hence the use of semicolons instead of double ampersands, but a moderately high level of sure.
Before Linux had a shutdown command, you’d run “sync && sync && sync” then hit the power button.
is that true? i guess it makes sense. you dont “shutdown” DOS
3 syncs? Sun Microsystems trainers told me 2!
Seems risky to me…
I just pull the power cord and let it figure it out

why use many word when few word do trick
Just alias whatever to “off”
