Here are > the errors. Has anyone seen this before ? What version of RHEL is this? From the LaUS messages, I'm going to assume RHEL3. I don't have a RHEL3 box handy, but I do have a RHEL4 box. Those shutdown options aren't really valid in RHEL. What it does on my RHEL4 box is schedules a system *halt* (not reboot) for 150 minutes in the future (it has no idea what -i 6 means). Assuming that 150 minutes is indeed the desired time, do something like this: shutdown -r 150 would do what you want. The other question that this lends itself to is why in the world would you want to reboot a box every week without anyone tending to it in the event that it does not come back up or something???? If there's some application that has some lossage that requires it to be restarted once a week, why not just restart that app instead of the whole box??? -Jon -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
