How to shutdown OSX and avoid programs inturrupting the shutdown?
There are certain programs that I always run that interrupt the shutdown process. When I try to shut down my laptop a message pops up saying that a program interrupted the shutdown process, but when I check the program it is already shut down. These programs probably just take a little longer to shut down. Is there a good way to shut down OSX without having to deal with these interruptions?
You can use sudo shutdown -h now
in you terminal. The shutdown
program sends the SIGTERM
and after some time SIGKILL
interrupts to all running programs. So shutdown
should not be interrupted.
a quick shutdown shortcut is pressing the "control" + "option" + "command" + "eject" buttons simultaneously.
sudo shutdown -h now
