but a shutdown is NOT a restart anymore and doesn't quit and restart processes

I hear ya, and appreciate the info because I didn't know that. I was saying that I would do both before calling, and then again when they asked me

But this was back in like 2004-ish, so I'm not sure what was best practice back then. I would just try it all before calling lol... going so far as to shut down and unplug for a few seconds or more
