MontaVistaâs Alexander Kaliadin on the instant shutdown of a Linux OS

,----[ Quote ]
| I had a great interview with the architects
| of MontaVista Software's 1-second boot-time
| real-time Linux. After the interview went
| to press it occurred to me to ask Alexander
| Kaliadin a related question. If smart
| people like him can figure out how to boot
| a computer in less than a second, is it
| also possible to turn the computer off in a
| short time? His answer was that you could
| possibly just flip the power switch, if the
| hardware was designed to allow this. His
| response and elaboration are below.
|
| [...]
|
| I mentioned to Alex that I would like to
| publish the above comments in my blog and
| he was nice enough to elaborate on them in
| the following communication:
|
|   In a typical desktop box, the proper
|   Linux shutdown process will involve
|   flushing disk caches, closing multiple
|   files and un-mounting drives (local or
|   networked). Depending on the use case,
|   certain daemons or processes may wait for
|   various operations to complete in order
|   to proceed with the shutdown process.
