Hi Keith,

One of my former customer, I had to set off a times reboot every
week or so, due to his removable AHCI backup hard drives not
mounting correctly when he changed them out.  I am suspicious
of how he did it, but ...  He also rebooted for the stupidest
reasons.  And, when he caught an fsck at boot, he swore and flipped
the power off and back on.  (I am glad I do not work for him anymore.)

I am just going though withdraw pains that RH removed the "-F"
from shutdown and was looking for an alternative that was easy to
remember.

Thank you for the tips!
