here's an excerpt: reboot ~ Sat Jun 7 08:23 user1 ttyp0 IP Sat Jun 7 08:23 - crash (00:00) user 2 ttyp9 IP Fri Jun 6 21:21 - crash (11:02) user3 ttyp8 IP Fri Jun 6 21:20 - crash (11:02) Does crash always mean that there was eg a panic or exhaustion of resources? or could it also mean that the machine crashed as a result of a power-loss? > Do you have crashdumps enabled? I don't think so... <--> george donnelly - http://www.zettai.net/ - "We Love Newbies" :) Zope Hosting - Dynamic Website Design - Search Engine Promotion Yahoo, AIM: zettainet - MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ICQ: 51907738 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
