> First question: Is using this feature a no-no that could trash the file > system(s)? I've always felt this. Even though FreeBSD does a good job of coming back I've never really wanted to risk it. The problem is sleep mode is really only good for laptops and monitors. The amount of electricity saved is so minimal it's not really worth it. I've run experiments at home on this. My findings have been that turning a regular 60watt bulb or a small tv off saves more power then four PC's and a Sparc machine do. > Second question: After I have done this, is there a way to reset the OS > clock to the physical clock in the computer short of rebooting? (without > resorting to some internet based time source).
