I know I can shutdown a mac via terminal using
sudo shutdown -h now
But that is a graceful shutdown how can I force it to immediately die (I know this is bad practice)
ditto for rebooting
there doesn't appear to be an argument for --force or such.
reboot -q
. This isn't a graceful shutdown. See the manpages forreboot
,halt
andshutdown
for more information. Why do you not want a graceful halt or reboot?man shutdown
has (as any other man page) aSEE ALSO
section which might be useful in these cases.
