How about changing to another virtual console (ctl or alt F[1-8]), log in as root, and then type init 0 (halt) (or init 6 for reboot)? If no virtual console available - I'll put a stop feature in the script somehow or ssh if on a network. HTH smbinyon

Works pretty well, however I'm testing it by changing inittab to run at level 4. Boots up and works fine...but how the heck do I shut it down from initlevel 4 without thrashing the file system?
