Because I had experienced these unclean shutdowns before, I thought shutdown/pause/start was a 'safer option'; now that I know what you just explained, I'll use 'reload' next time. so, if there is a critical error in config, 'reload' would cause 'stop'? -- Voytek -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
