For me, OS X has always been worse about that. Want to shutdown? Better get ready to manually close every single application, because if any of them disagree then that shutdown ain't happening.
- colejohnson66 6y agoWindows does that sometimes too though. Is there no “This program isn’t responding. Do you want to force kill it?” like thing?
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoThere technically is, but the dialog takes too long to pop up, and sometimes never does for some inexplicable reason.
- amiga_500 6y agoLinux: sudo shutdown -h now It does my bidding.
- sneak 6y agoThis also works in osx, and it’s much faster than the gui based shutdown.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI was about to say—this is how I shut down macOS when it doesn't feel like cooperating. It would of course be nice if the GUI just consistently did what it's supposed to, but oh well...
- lokedhs 6y agoI've always typed poweroff. I guess that's because of my time at Sun, since that is the fastest way to shutdown a Solaris machine. I was always under the impression that shutdown -h ran more shutdown scripts?
