The shutdown cause is given slightly later:ġ0.129 AppleSMC Previous shutdown cause: 5 (I have blanked out the UUID given for the boot.)

There are then around 800 or more log entries over the next 0.2 seconds or so detailing the shutdown of various services, etc., before the final two entries:Ġ0.964 opendirectoryd SystemCache Deregistered for Kernel Identity Service requestsĠ1.449 = system wallclock time adjusted Once those are complete, macOS calls shutdown -r now, and its sequence starts:Ġ0.780 kernel Kext unloading now disabled.Ġ0.780 kernel Kext autounloading now disabled.Ġ0.780 kernel Kernel requests now disabled.Ġ0.782 kernel Process launchd disabling system-wide I/O ThrottlingĠ0.782 kernel Process launchd disabling system-wide CPU Throttling There are typically more than 400 other log entries made in the 0.75 seconds or so between the first and last of those entries, which gives an indication of the other processes which are involved. These are announced step by step in the following sequence, between which are long runs of entries recording the shutdown of various parts of macOS:Ġ0.000 loginwindow - | ************* logout state: StartGUIAppsQuitĠ0.212 loginwindow - | ************* logout state: AllGUIAppsQuitĠ0.213 loginwindow - | ************* logout state: StartFinderQuitĠ0.369 loginwindow - | ************* logout state: StartDockQuitĠ0.377 loginwindow - | ************* logout state: StartPrivateProcessQuitĠ0.652 loginwindow - | ************* logout state: FinalItemsBeforeSessionLogoutdĠ0.745 loginwindow - | ************* logout state: StartsessionlogoutdĠ0.745 loginwindow - | ************* logout state: LogoutCompleteĠ0.745 loginwindow - | *************Login Window exit - StartSessionState************Ġ0.745 loginwindow - | * LoginState: LoginCompleteĠ0.745 loginwindow - | * OverallSessionState: Logout - past point of no returnĠ0.745 loginwindow - | * LogoutState: LogoutCompleteĠ0.745 loginwindow - | *************State Sequences************Ġ0.745 loginwindow - | * LoginStates: * Login States: InitialStartup, WindowServerConnectionMade, FinishLaunchingStart, StartedAuthCopy, LoginwindowUIShown, ReturnFromAuthCopy, KeychainUnlocked, KeybagUnlocked, CreateAndSwitch, MountedServers, DeletedUserFolders, TALLaunchStart, FinderEtcLaunched, ContinueAfterDesktopReady, ContinueAfterTALCheckin, LoginItems, LoginComplete,Ġ0.745 loginwindow - | * LogoutStates: * Logout States: RestartConfirmation, StartGUIAppsQuit, AllGUIAppsQuit, StartFinderQuit, FinderQuit, PointOfNoReturn, StartUIElementsQuit, StartDockQuit, StartPrivateProcessQuit, FinalItemsBeforeSessionLogoutd, Startsessionlogoutd, LogoutComplete,Ġ0.745 loginwindow - | *************EndSessionState************ The first sequences are run by loginwindow, and handle shutting down all the GUI and higher-level processes. Logs were captured using Consolation 3, and times are given in seconds after initiation of the reboot.Ī normal Restart initiated from the Finder’s Apple menu occurs in two main phases.

When each action was initiated, Terminal was open, Documents and Desktop folders were in iCloud, and one RTFD document from ~/Documents was open in TextEdit.

The following tests were performed on a MacBook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.4, with Security Update 2018-001 installed, booted from its internal SSD in APFS. Both commands are small but not negligible executable files in the /sbin directory, and there is no suggestion that reboot is just a front end for shutdown. Having suggested, from a close reading of their man pages, that the shutdown command is preferable to plain reboot, the only way of finding out is to examine what happens during system restarts.
