I'm also happy with the init 5/6 commands but I'm a little annoyed that
pressing the power button does not shut down the system. When I press
it, the system conducts a 30 seconds countdown to shutdown and then
nothing happens. I have not tested this thoroughly on b148 but it was a
nuisance to find out about it on b134.

1) "the more progressive amongst us do" I take exception to this
statement ... some of the GNU commands are broken on Solaris, and
secure accounts should have as little in it's path (if you use root or
any secure account) as possible so that you can be _sure_ of which app
you are using.
2) "reboot" does what it says on the tin, "shutdown" works as would be
expected (you can use shutdown to run many different types of
shutdown/init) ...
Please do not change these to make them more like Linux, please do not
change the init levels to make them match Linux, IMO the Linux init
states are broken.
If you're using a server then expect to know some of the commands for
running the server. If you're using the desktop there is a nice
graphical "Shutdown" routine. If you're in front of the hardware and
you want to power down (and it's an ATX case) press the power button
once.

Hi All,
My proposal would be to add a "Linux/*BSD"-like reboot and shutdown command
to /usr/gnu/bin
The traditionalist UNIX folk don't typically run /usr/gnu/bin at the front
of their path, whilst the more progressive amongst us do. So this should
satisfy both parties.
When I was switching from a Linux/FreeBSD background to Solaris, I found the
unnecessarily complicated reboot/shutdown situation highly frustrating.
Typing "init 6" and "init 5" when you mean "reboot" and "shutdown" seemed
utterly bizarre, and stupid, and angered me.
Rather than do a half-baked shell script that wraps the existing tools, I
think we should probably do a bit more research and implement something a
bit more "proper" with similar FreeBSD/Linux like syntax (depending on what
that syntax is - I haven't looked in a while).
Cheers,
Alasdair
