So basically the soft reset is an unorderly shutdown vs. an orderly shutdown by cycling the powers. This being the case I'm surprised that when I installed some Resco applications it asked me to do a soft reset?

I think I'll only do a soft reset if the PPC power off switch is unresponsive (ex. the PPC is hung).
