Alas, it did not work. The computer at my workplace, which also has Etch, does shutdown properly, though. One difference between these computers was in the setup of them -- I installed the default desktop for the computer at work (which is also an older Pentium III), whereas I was more selective at home (not wishing to have all sorts of extraneous programs that I never use). I'm thinking there may be a package or two that did not get installed on my home computer that have made a difference. It's not that important, though, but, I appreciate all suggestions.
