When I was running SuSE, and did a shutdown -h now, the emachines box would shut down and turn the system off. Pressing the power button again brought things back up. When I installed FreeBSD a few months ago and did a shutdown -h now and power off by hand, trying to reset by hand did/does nothing. I have to pull out the power cord and reinsert it. (Obviously, I could put the power switch on a different power bar and hand-reset that way...) This is a ``safety'' feature or what?! Jeez.... :-) TIA, y'all, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
