On modern PCs the power switch is just a low-voltage control line. A light touch is a signal to the OS to shutdown cleanly - you have to hold the button down for several seconds to force it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
