I did just check the halt/reboot man page and it did say that it should shut the power off where possible. I'm not getting that behavior on my Lattitude. I have the following line in my kernel config device apm0 at isa? # Advanced Power Management and I can get the suspend/resume functions to work just fine. If, however, I use halt I get "press any key to reboot." p.s. where is the "any" key anyway ;-) Colin E.
