The > DDB_UNATTENDED option can help with that though. Another thing to keep in This is the first I've seen this option (admittedly infrequent -current user). A quick google doesn't return anything really useful. By default I'd like DDB to wait about 60 seconds for keyboard info, and if it doesn't get it reboot. If this option does that, great. The question would be, why wouldn't such behavior (possibly with a longer/shorter timeout) be the default? Developers may want to set this to never, but everyone else might want 30-600 seconds, so if they are there working on something they can debug it, and if not the system panic's and/or dumps core as normal and goes on with life. At a very least this needs to be more prominently documented. --=20 Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org --wac7ysb48OaltWcw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/uDUvNh6mMG5yMTYRAvb4AJ4/nT6yGvHbwXPY/OI1TT90UPOQyACfSpDC LUDe8gNLk0jFzjuiqS6H5as= =SZy0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --wac7ysb48OaltWcw--
