[expert] Auto power down

2001-07-03 Thread Nick Thompson
Hi, Until I upgraded to LM-Freq2 from LM8.0, my PC always used to turn itselfs off at the end of a shutdown. Now it just says Power down and leaves it to me to switch off. How can I reenable that feature. I have ATX everything BTW. Thanks, Nick.

Hi Nick, try the command poweroff. If it does not help, check your kernel configuration: Some BIOSes want to have use real-mode APM calls to power off, the others ( AFAIK the most ) definitely do not want it ( my computer ( with an ASUS K7V board ) used to reboot with this feature enabled ).
