man shutdown

           $  shutdown -k +1

I love the man page on this one.

      -k     Don't really shutdown; only send the warning messages to every-
              body.

Doesn't that sound a bit sinister? I picture an evil System Administrator, having malice aforethought and obvious premeditation, going around executing repeated ``shutdown -k'' commands.

149 Linux Tips

I'm up to 149 tips. I'm a bit of a numbers freak. Tip 23 was special because the numbers PI and E sync on the number 23. So I had to come up with a unique tip for that one.
