Thank you for your reply, one obstacle out of the way :-)
I just ordered the Beaglebone book: "Exploring BeagleBone: Tools and Techniques for Building with Embedded Linux" by Dekek Molloy .I also read that I can shut down the board (power) by pressing the power button on the BBB. So that seems
to be the way to shutdown the  board and not corrupt the memory.

There is still an issue: By using the systemctl file.service method , it does not pass the python print outputs to the ssh when connected
using the host PC -> BBB.
However, if executing the script directly (no systemctl used), the print function works as expected.
Question: Is there a way allow this to work when using systemctl method?

Question: I still can not figure out how to use the 'forum'. I am not sure the proper method to login and sign off.

I do appreciate you assistance and I thank you!

Yes, you can get corruption.

    *Question:* Can the BBB be powered by the external 5 VDC and the
    USB at the same time,

    or is that a power conflict issue?


    *Question:* If powering the BBB with the external 5 VDC power
    supply, is there a danger in

    corrupting the Debian OS by powering down the BBB (no shutdown) ?
