You mean that isn't how to exit 'ed'?

Technically, the official method of exiting ed, if you're running as root, is:

    $ed a_file
    ... (normal usage)
    r /etc/motd
    w /boot/vmlinuz-3.19.0-16-generic (replace with specific kernel)
    !reboot

The alternative of "w /dev/sda1" is also acceptable.

Note to those objecting to '$': I have PS1 set to '$' on every account. It just saves confusion.

Don't you think it is prettier with the space?

Nah, just adds clutter.
