I don't know about how your window system shuts down, but from the command line I had the same problem. I was using "shutdown -h now" and it would give me the same message that the system was halted, press any key to reboot. I later learned that "shutdown -p now" would shut the power off as well. Maybe your window system is doing the equivalent of -h instead of -p. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
