I tend to disagree. AFAIK was shutdown part of BSD already in the early days. The usage differs from SysV shutdown, though. IMHO SysV-ish would be to use "init <runlevel>". And "shutdown now" is much less painful than kill -TERM 1 for the faint hearted. :-)) Best regards, Daniel -- IRCnet: Mr-Spock - Der Schatten von Hasenfuss ist ziemlich dunkel - Daniel Lang * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * +49 89 289 18532 * http://www.leo.org/~dl/
