Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm not on a laptop (will it # still work on a PC?). When I tried shutdown -p now it went through the # shutdown and showed me my uptime then just sat there. I let it sit # there for about a minute the turned it off manually. Any other ideas? Interesting... I have "shutdown -p now" working on my Dell Dimension desktop at work using the bit that Ken and I mentioned. You may want to check to see if APM is enabled in the BIOS or if there is a BIOS option to allow "soft-off". I haven't tried the power off method on newer desktop (ie: machines built after 2000) but it should still work. -- Linh Pham lplist@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org closedsrc.org Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
