Seibert > gerard-seibert@rcn.com Did you enable apm in /etc/rc.conf? What do you get when you execute the following? apm -s If you get a 0 (zero), then I don't think apm is enabled at bootup. See if this works: apm -e 1 shutdown -p now If it worked, then apm is functioning; but you need to enable it prior to shutdown. Best of luck, Andrew Gould
