Okay: With an Intel MS440GX motherboard the following line in the kernel configuration file worked for me (thanks to those who contributed): device apm0 Issuing the command 'shutdown -p now' shuts the system down and turns the power off. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get Wake-on-lan to work reliably. I'm using the Perl module Net::Wake by Clinton Wong. When I manually power off the machine I can use wake-on-lan. However, when I soft power off, wake-on-lan doesn't appear to work. Hmm. Perhaps I need to send to a specific port? I've checked the BIOS several times and it appears to be in order. Besides it's worked several times already. I'm not sure what to do from here except go to bed. :-) Thanks everyone, Alex On Thursday, December 11, 2003, at 09:52 PM, Alex (ander Sendzimir) wrote: > Okay.
