Hi, Also, this sort of thing usually happens, obviously, when some process is not allowing your Mac to shut down properly. I'd try to reset the pRAM and/or an SMC reset. Try the pRAM first, then if there's no change, try the SMC reset. If neither of those help, there's likely something in the Activity Monitor that can be investigated.

This command either requires sudo or you to be logged in as root. The -r tells it to restart. HTH. Later...

I don’t shut down my computer often, so it hasn’t been a huge hassle. If, however, I could get a terminal command to work, I’d be happy enough with that. The part that puzzles me is that it will shutdown and restart during an upgrade.
