Goal: to see the "orderly shutting down of services messages" produced by shutdown -h now, without lifting a finger, when one has issued the shutdown command from inside X windows.
I was told to use monitor=/dev/ttyX in lilo or at the boot prompt, but no, whatever one makes X one still has to hit alt ctrl F7 to see those final messages. Perhaps the monitor parameter affects the initial messages, but not the final ones. Anyways, post your tried and true results here. >>>>> "Dan" == Dan Jacobson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Dan> I notice upon shutdown -h now I miss all the neat messages about what Dan> its shutting down, because I am sent to tty1 instead of remaining on Dan> window 7, the xwindow, and I must manually do alt ctrl F7 to go back Dan> and see them.
