Ack! I hate to reboot ...my machines stay up 24-7 and only go down to switch between development and stable kernels when I feel I need to (not often) telinit 1 to go down to single user mode... telinit 2 to return personally I prefer the redhat method... just set it to run at runlevel 5 ONLY then... telinit 5 (and edit inittab to default to 5) -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
