Shouldn't commands like NetShutDown and Reboot do nothing when called with a question mark with nothing entered?
I think a command that will do something as drastic as rebooting should at least ask if you are sure, or otherwise be called with something like Reboot FORCE or Reboot RIGHTNOW.

Re: no way back
For "Reboot ?" at least you can stop it from rebooting by pressing CTRL-C before RETURN.

Did not think of that. Thanks.salass00 wrote:For "Reboot ?" at least you can stop it from rebooting by pressing CTRL-C before RETURN.

Wouldn't it be better to submit a bug report requesting that reboot put up a requester unless a FORCE option is used (as suggested by djg).salass00 wrote:For "Reboot ?" at least you can stop it from rebooting by pressing CTRL-C before RETURN.
In addition, I think that all the non-standard commands in SYS:C need to be updated with ReadArgs and templates so that all commands respond to "?" as expected on an Amiga.

Re: no way back
After more than a year, maybe a few, I recently played around with an A1200. I had forgotten how modern OS3.9 feels like, for it's age, and I was quite impressed. But after a couple of hours, I had to copy some files from the A1X1k to the CF card and without any doubt OS4.1FEu1 feels so much more advanced, snappy and polished. It really feels like home, a souped up home. All the devs did a good job improving the OS quite a lot.xenic wrote:Wouldn't it be better to submit a bug report requesting that reboot put up a requester unless a FORCE option is used (as suggested by djg).salass00 wrote:For "Reboot ?" at least you can stop it from rebooting by pressing CTRL-C before RETURN.

But there sure are some, for lack of a better word, incomprehensible inconsistencies. This is one these, and quite annoying.
I fully share your opinion.
