Hello, how could I turn the running system into singleuser state? (It seems that *kill -HUP 1* doesn't work and shutdown -k leaves the system in multiuser state). And how could I bring the system back into multiuser again, even if I used *shutdown -k* (do I've to reboot, or is there another way?) Does *cron* still work in singleuser state and how could I inform samba-users of this machine, that the system is going to *nologin* or *singleuser*? Sorry for this bunch of questions, but I ask this, because I'd like to install a backup-script for the most important data of a server which offers mainly samba-file-share-services and I would like to make the backup of the data when no one else is on the system. Thanks in advance, Joachim.Jaeckel@arcor.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
