Let's get completely unnecessary:

# systemctl isolate runlevel6.target

You, like me, must be old.

I also frequently pass -l to the ssh command.

I'm not old, I just like how short the command is

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Fair enough, I can respect that.

I didn't get that.

Checked the man and it's not deprecated. So what does it have to do with "old"?

Nowadays most Linux users seem to use ssh user@host. When I was getting started, that didn't exist (or at least I was unaware of it) so I still frequently use the -l flag instead.

Nothing wrong with it, just that at least I mostly encounter its use by experienced users.

OIC. Good to know in case I ever have to work on some old CentOS 5 box lying around ever again.
It also looks kinda proper, using that instead of the @, so when making shell scripts, I might want to prefer this.

I just flick the switch on the surge protector.

sudo shutdown -r now

sudo ps -ef | awk '{print $2}' | xargs -r kill -9

sudo reboot 0

...is my go-to.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

reboot -f

Because real men login as root and don't care about such silly things like an init system or file system syncing!

To quote the man page:

-f Does not invoke shutdown(8) and instead performs the actual action you would expect from the name.
