Next time you're stuck, try to read Osamu's very fine reference manual. If you can't find your way in his reference, come here again, tell us what your problem is and *also* where you tried to find the anwser and in his docs. Then we can start to understand how those reference manuals actually should have been structured and what language we should have used and improve on that. You see Osamu spent a great deal of time and effort in writing that manual, and did a mighty good job. Besides it was ment for guys like you. So if you're lost, please help improve it even further. -- groetjes, carel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: power down and power off also?
Sandip, You might be looking for the command insmod apm shutdown, and if this works edit /etc/modules and add apm on a line by itself.
