What's the shutdown process for sys-suspend compared to init 5?
The source doesn't seem to be in the source browser, but the tarball is available at: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/extras/sys-suspend/gnome-sys-suspend-0.5.tar.bz2 For power off it appears to do: /* * Send SIGPWR signal to the init process to shut down the system. */ if (kill (1, SIGPWR) == -1) uadmin(A_SHUTDOWN, AD_POWEROFF, 0); I don't see shutdown other than power off in there. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
