I've been on Linux for a while and not to up on FreeBSD.... but, couldn't you just redefine a runlevel to do everything init 0 does then instead of powering down, provide a script to perform 'init 3' So to 'restart' without actually rebooting just 'init 2' (or whatever level you choose) or am I missing something? // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architect cell: 347-451-8229 Security Services, Web, Mail, mailto:george@galis.org File, Print, DB and DNS Servers. http://www.galis.org/george To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
