You mean if you tell your computer to shutdown or restart and then you realize you don't want to do that?

----------

One way is to get it to go to sleep before it shuts down.

It raises interesting questions... like, would you want to? I suppose you could... on linux, which is architecturally similar to OSX, there's a process called killall that starts offing processes. If you typed in at lightspeed, ps -e | grep kill and killed the corresponding number, then maybe.you'd also have to do the equivalent of switching to runlevel 5 (or anything other than 6, the shutdown runlevel).

Theoretically possible, but not technically.

There is definitely a way to stop the Shut Down/Restart process. Reach around to the back of your Mac and pull the plug!
