(I'm working on using X10 stuff to actually cycle power for me) However, for now, even when the serial console is still running, but the machine is mostly dead, I can never get reboot to work... It tells me some processess would not die, ps axl advised - then it locks up. I've even tried reboot -q or reboot -n and got nowhere. Is there a better way of recovering for this? Kevin
