Do you need some beeps at the end of the halt script? Failing to shutdown properly will force the system to go through filesystem checking and repair routines (fsck) during boot, and if it happens frequently, may eventually result in unrecoverable filesystem damage. This is not a problem to many users, who leave their machines up for weeks or months at a time, through upgrades and everything else, with no reboots, so that even a newbie who just turns their machine off every few weeks may have no problems. An occasional fsck (filesystem check and repair) of the filesystem usually is no problem. So how often do you reboot? The power company did mine for me just the other day, after about 39 days of uptime, but the fsck went fine, which is usually the case (actually, I've been running linux for years, through many power glitches, and the fsck has never failed me). Check your boot logs for problems when that happens, but you probably won't find anything of much interest. LCR -- L. C.
