Hackint the shutdowns to background the shutdown op and return is usually pretty simple -- don't know why more app's don't do that by default. 'halt' will get you down with little typing if you want to bypass the init scripts; so will "kill -TERM 1". Add a 'sync' before either of them and you'll probably be able to come up with minimal trouble. -- Steven Lembark +1 888 359 3508 Workhorse Computing 85-09 90th St [EMAIL PROTECTED] Woodhaven, NY 11421 -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
