Only old AT machines have switches that are hooked directly to the power supply,
ATX however is not, the switch goes to the motherboard and it controls the power, windows intercepts this signal and puts the machine through a forcfull shutdown. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Hartwell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, 26 November 2001 4:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Shutting down linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Sunday 25 November 2001 10:27 pm, Redhat mailing list wrote: > Hi, > What I mean is normally shutdown, sorry i 4got to clear this.

I know about binding ctrl-alt-del to the shutdown command, but normally a power switch is directly linked to the power supply, and therefore hitting that switch simply kills your power. A machine that can be set up to do a normal shutdown by hitting the power switch would make a LOT of people very happy. - -- All private email sent with PGP encryption. Email for key.
