Sorry from a 4.x-junkie ;-) GH -- :wq ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Shutdown And User Intervention
Is there a way to issue a shutdown command that doesn't require me to press a key to reboot? Currently when I enter the command 'shutdown -p' the system shuts down gracefully but I have to press a key to reboot the system. Ultimately I'd like to be able to power-off the system gracefully without requiring the user (me) to press a key afterwards. = Rishi Chopra http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~rchopra __ Do you Yahoo!?

Without it, the shutdown -p can't shutoff the computer without human intervention. At least in no way I know. /andreas -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.

Add the following to your kernel configuration file, build and install a new kernel and try shutdown -p again: device acpica It's not in de GENERIC kernel because 1) this feature is still experimental (however it seems to work fine), and 2) many users never shutdown -p their FreeBSD machines anyway. :-) GH -- :wq ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
