You could use a command to go off-line, instead of shutting down the computer. It depends how often, long the computer is in use. A shutdown and startup isn't good for the drives, OTOH turning a computer on, when it's just used half an hour a day, would be bad. Suspend etc. might nt work when e.g. using a special sound server, such as jackd. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
