Likely the power button wasn't held long enough (though this should be one of two last resorts since it's not as safe as it can be). Either way, you should be able to issue this in the terminal to safely reboot: sudo reboot If that doesn't work, yank the power cord or hold the power button longer as last resorts. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
