Everything works fine except for restarting the machine. The command "shutdown -r now" used to force a reboot, seems to be working, sync's the disks and then does nothing. I leave it for about 20-25 minutes and still it won't restart. The "shutdown now" command works fine, but now with the "-r" option. This used to work when using 2.0.5, but since the upgrade - nothing. Regards Craig Beasland n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n~n Reward Consulting Pty. Ltd.
