'shutdown now' will take you to single user mode. This is not what you want if you're ready to power off. Use 'shutdown -h now' and wait for the 'press any key to reboot' prompt before you power off. To reboot, use 'shutdown -r now'. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
