Hello Once again!, When I go to shutdown my redhat 6.0 Machine it gives an error message indicating that it can't load a library file the command that I am using is shutdown now reboot halt all of them give the same error cannot load library xxxxxxxx No such file or directory Please forgive me I left the text file with the error message at home I realize that we will probably need the error message before doing much but I figured I'd toss this out there and see if anyone has any ideas first. I can run linuxconf and chose shutdown and it works but I would like to know what I did to break this I did recently (since the last time I took the system down) remove X windows and all of it's dependencies (running low on disk space) I figured that for a computer without a monitor X windows and all the graphical crap was a expendable resource. I do remember that the name of the library that failed was libXsomthing else there was a capital X in it If anyone has any ideas Please let me know I hate having to use linuxconf for routine system events Regards, Chris Bennett
