Folks, keep in mind why I asked this question in the first place. My |
33 |
power supply was frying and I needed a VERY fast shutdown. This was not |
34 |
asked as a fast way to shutdown just because we are impatient or |
35 |
something. This was for the event of a serious emergency where I needed |
36 |
a shutdown in just a very few seconds not a minute or two. Some of my |
37 |
services take a while to stop, foldingathome being the longest one. |
38 |
|
39 |
Basically, this is not intended to be used to shutdown a puter on a |
40 |
regular basis, unless you burn out P/S's on a daily basis. O-o |
41 |
|
42 |
Just didn't want someone to be using this on a regular basis and then |
43 |
wondering why their system has a new nickname, FUBAR. :'( |
