stupid question - do you know for sure that they really shut down?

i am reminded of about a month ago with a client of mine - they are 
space-challenged at the moment and they had an entry clerk working on
the unix console.  she said her "terminal" was "locked up" and she rebooted
her "PC" several times before calling our office but nothing helped.  

well, it turned out she must have hit some keys and must have gone
<Alt><Fsomething> to some non-active console login.

the "rebooting"?  she powered off/on the console vga monitor.
