Perhaps for those models it doesn't really matter, they probably set a much larger delay (say 5 minutes), and then start the shutdown procedure and don't need anymore interaction with the machine. In that case nothing is needed on halt. Simo. -- Simo Sorce * Red Hat, Inc * New York -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
