This will only work for programs which are in your $PATH, and `shutdown' usually isn't in the normal path (it's in /sbin, and */s* directories are usually omitted from $PATH because they're for use by sysadmins). Try using the full path, e.g. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start ("/sbin/shutdown -r now"); Also, your program will likely need to be running as `root' in order for the `shutdown' invocation to actually do anything... - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
