Thanks! Although the power button actually > resets the machine rather than poweres it down, but I can live with that. It would just as easy to power it down. This is not done currently because the interrupt sent when you press the power button is a bit ill-defined. The documentation mentions it as "power fail interrupt", so we just try to shut down as quickly as possible to prevent data loss but do not power off so that the administrator can diagnose the problem. FWIW, the number of models on which pressing the power button causes this interrupt is quite limited (IIRC it is only done on Ultra 5s and Ultra 10s). - Thomas -- Thomas Moestl <tmoestl@gmx.net> http://www.tu-bs.de/~y0015675/ <tmm@FreeBSD.org> http://people.FreeBSD.org/~tmm/ PGP fingerprint: 1C97 A604 2BD0 E492 51D0 9C0F 1FE6 4F1D 419C 776C To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
