It would be easier if you just wrote "Windows" and avoided any purile and cutesy notations for it since it rendered a whole sentence in your previous email completely unparseable for several minutes until I figured out what you were even trying to say. I think you need to go read the man page for apm(8) and shutdown(p) if you want to find out about how FreeBSD and not Windows does these jobs. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
