Thanks, I've only tried it a couple of times, but for me "shutdown -r now" seems to reliably reboot the machine, but "shutdown -p now" seems to reliably stop at the "Powering off..." message. Let me know if you're sick of the 2950's, you can leave them on my doorstep anytime.... ;) g. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
