If this is an FAQ, What you forget to mention is what parameters ye are feeding shutdown. `shutdown' normally is for going to single user mode, after that one has to do a `reboot' to ensure proper shutdown of the OS. from man shutdown(2): A terminate signal is then sent to init(8) to bring the system down to single-user state (depending on above options). --- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven A veil of smoke is what I am, asmodai(at)wxs.nl I wait and I wait...
