Shutdown writing entropy file. Terminated. Enter Full path name of shell or Return for /bin/sh. But the system does not powerdown. I would expect the software to be "smart" enough to turn off the power switch as other operating systems do. At a minimum the system should state after "Terminated", "It is now safe to turn off the computer." >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: The software should be smart enough to throw the power to the off position. If I wanted a reboot, I will type in reboot not shutdown. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
