Benjamin, I just tried shutdown -h now and it did not automatically shut down power... still need to shut power off manually. I did a standard load of RH8 and have not played around with APMD. Upon further investigation, ps -aux|grep -i apm shows apmd is not running. /etc/init.d/apmd start comes back with nothing, as if it works, but apmd is not running. I tried starting apmd from GUI, and it said successful start, but I can't find it in ps -aux or ps -aef. So, it appears that apmd is not working properly. Does anyone else have any insight into why a standard RH8 load would keep apmd from working properly? --- Benjamin Rich <brich@n2bb.com> wrote: > Just curious but do you have APMD running and > configured, when you issue > a shutdown -h now instead of the -p option will it > shutdown and > poweroff. > > -----Original Message----- > From: hmc [mailto:doctorebs@yahoo.com] > Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 8:41 PM > To: psyche-list@redhat.com > Subject: RE: poweroff fails on Dell Dimension 4500 > with RH8 > > > Lanny, > > Unfortunately, no one seems to respond to this > query. > Perhaps someone could recommend another list. > > I am surprised since Dell is a very popular brand > and > I would assume lots of RH8 running on the Dimension > 4500, or other Dell models that seem to exhibit the > same behavior, as you point out. > > Windows XP shuts power off automatically, but RH8 > does > not, so it does not appear to be a BIOS issue, at > least not apparently. > > My guess is it is a bug in halt -p, but the bug may > be > fixable with some configuration change, but I have > not > been able to find the information. > > > --- Lanny Marcus <lanny@calidama.com> wrote: > > > Message: 1 > > > Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2002 19:53:55 -0800 (PST) > > > From: hmc > <doctorebs@yahoo.com> > > > Subject: poweroff fails on Dell Dimension 4500 > > > with RH8 > > > To: psyche-list@redhat.com > > > Reply-To: psyche-list@redhat.com > > > > > > Anyone know why poweroff fails (halt -p) with > RH8 > > on Dell Dimension > > > 4500?
