[ale] Shutdown porcess

[ChrisF at computone.com (Chris Fowler)]

Hello,


Why do when I issue the following command


mount -n -o remount,ro /


??and turn off the system, the filesystem is dirty.


What should the proper commands be to use in the shell, not useing halt, shutdown, or reboot.?? To properly umount a FS and it be clean??? Do I need a few functions in C?

Thanks,
Chris
