I recently upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.3.5 (on a 1.25GHz MDD 2003). I wanted to run the file system check (fsck) and discovered that this is different in 10.3 from 10.2.
In OS 10.1 and 10.2, the Terminal command "sudo shutdown now" would put the machine into command line mode. In 10.3, the computer responds to "sudo shutdown now" with the following message:
shutdown: -o requires -h or -r usage: shutdown [-] [-h | -p | -r | -k] [-o [-n]] time [warning-message ...]
I am guessing that it wants something added to the shutdown command, but I don't know what it means or how to enter it.
Any help appreciated. (I could not find any explanation in the Apple Knowledge Base.)
For all terminal commands try "man command", in this case, "man shutdown". Not always the easiest info to follow but the info is there. Note: hitting space moves to the next screen, "b" moves back one.
