I haven't typed in 'kill' by itself in a long time. It only takes one mistake you know. 'kill' by itself IIANM will shutdown the computer or at least that was what happened the one time I did it on a server with 200+ people logged in. One of those mistakes you tend to do only once in your life time. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
