Well, on power failures it works. On explicit manual shutdown, I disable it or the machine would just come back (actually some machines would, some won't, some might even silently disable it in that case, I think it depends on the generation of PMU firmware). > By the way, has anybody tried this trick of the PowerMacs G5?

It should work on a PMU based G5 like this one... I'm pretty sure I had it working. For SMU based machines, you need a different mecanism to send the SMU command. I reverse engineered the command the other day on irc and I think somebody wrote a tool though I can't remember who :-0 Ben. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
