I had a problem the other day where I needed to shutdown, like in a real
hurry. My power supply was packed up and checking out without paying
the bill. I was in KDE and just selected logout then shutdown from the
menu. Is there a faster way to shutdown so that at least the file
system is clean? Some fancy keystroke pattern or a short command
maybe? I run foldingathome and that pesky "waiting 17 seconds" thing
was torture. I need it to bypass that little "feature" as well.
I hope I never run into this again but just in case I would like a
pointer. It did make it to the point where it said it was unmounting
file systems but one partition must have been mounted since it was well,
pissed, about not being unmounted cleanly. ;-) Thank goodness for
reiserfs coming to the rescue. After putting in a new P/S all is well
again.
Thanks.
Dale

You can try this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key

Yeah, i think it is a bit more readable than the kernel documentation. ;-)
By the way the safest and recommended command, although a bit longish
should be ALT+SysRq(or print)+S(ync)+U(mount)+B(Reboot).

Wow, good to know that Wikipedia has it, just in case I don't have kernel
sources installed on my Gentoo systems ;-)

Since I wanted to shutdown instead of reboot, it would be ALT + SysRq +
S + U + O then correct? I have never done this before so what if any
are the gotcha's with this? Anybody ever do it and can tell me how long
a shutdown takes? Is it like seconds or what? Also, will this work if
I am logged into KDE and in the GUI?
Thanks.

As long as you need to strike the keys.
