I actually don't use shutdown -h. I am getting that from the man page I use "init 0" on my personal linux box and it automatically powers off. I just figured in the man page "0" was "halt" and then from the shutdown manpage "-h" is halt. Does "init 0" not automatically poweroff then? (or else acpi must have inadvertently been installed) Good to learn- Ben -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
