I would like to use this for a 'Logout & Shutdown' button on a desktop, and since I run xdm from init when I logout X starts up again and occasionally breaks (ie stuffs up the card so you can't see what's going on) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum --_=XFMail.1.3.p0.FreeBSD:990914141201:7396=_ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.6.3ia iQCVAwUBN93SGVbYW/HEoF9pAQHqGAQAsL0WM+NErAoweQLsZhWqTNYQRC1R99u7 6twBQJ2Qt12ueZmK1GJZ5CAJq+Ou7wiqbWSWJcoHdJHRr2juyYfxiwZRJu6unEy3 56zr1sAgqSuEM80fcs7L4CP01ABvDAsHHjRFYaSCQ9ih1VtglMPE6oMXxan0e4xk HRevyVzIVpw= =n7oG -----END PGP MESSAGE----- --_=XFMail.1.3.p0.FreeBSD:990914141201:7396=_-- End of MIME message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
