My systems, over many years, have survived many ungracefull poweroffs. Unlike Windows, which could be quite self destructive about it. Mind you, I don't have databases running on my systems that could need to be shut down in a specific way to maintain their data. You could try tapping the power button, and see if that triggers the computer to go into a shutdown. Some systems are set up that way, but I can't recall what the default is. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.16.2-201.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Sep 15 20:21:12 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
