Sure. Is there a way to do that, though, other than using /sbin/halt which seems to have, errr, undesirable side-effects :) Ideally it'd be very nice if that was doable through /sys or /proc files. It'd also be nice if disk standby was user-controllable in this way too. (or maybe both as one step, i.e. a way to tell the kernel we'd like to take the disk out in the safest way possible). -- Michel "Walken" Lespinasse "Bill Gates is a monocle and a Persian cat away from being the villain in a James Bond movie." -- Dennis Miller - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
