Anne or had msec set so only root could reboot Usually I used shutdown -r now without any problems for LMK8.2. From 9.0 onwards it would not work correctly. After waiting a while after issuing the command I went into a frenzy typing control-C, control-D and other things randomly to get it to reboot. Sometimes I had to give variations of the shutdown command mutiple times to get it to reboot. The command worked as expected now and then. I tried to use the rebootin linux command for the first time today (from the command line prompt without booting GUI). rebootin had problems too. After a long wait I repeated the command a second time and it rebooted. Thanx, ayoub890 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
