linux shutdown

[Arunas Norvaisa <an@arijus.lt>]

 Dear all,

 I'm confused...

 Have RTFMing and am using 'shutdown -r now' to restart my system.
BUT our system (Netware/Unix) admin (really old and experienced
'wolf') have told me that he's using 'sync;sync;halt' and have tried
to persuade me to use 'his' command.

 What is your opinion as I'm really confused about this.

 And - what are dangers of so-called 'three-finger salute' which is
described as The Very Bad Thing (tm) and absolute no-no?

 Thanks for your kind consideration.
