I've always thought ctl cmd pwr was called a soft reboot (on a Mac or clone) its supposed to restart the machine. I guess my post wasn't very clear. Here is the text of the original: I have made a discovery(?) concerning OS X and the Power line, or at least those Power machines I have. I have a couple of Power Tower Pros, a Powerbase and a couple of PowerCenters. All of these have 604 CPUs ranging from 125 to 240mhz and run 9.1 (and now 10.1) Incidentally, I also have several Macs (7500, 8550 WGS, etc) and 1 Umax S900. the S900 is equipped with a Sonnet/450 G3 card. What I have noted is, if you hit ctl cmd pwr on the Macs, or Umax and then hit power off on the machine while in 10.1, it powers off. No surprise there. On the Power boxes though, it resets. That is, the machines immediately restart. You cannot immediately turn a Power box off this way. I thought this only happened on the PowerCenter (the single one I had loaded 10.1 on), but after noticing it on a Power Tower Pro I got curious and upgraded all my Powers to OS X then tried it. The behavior is consistent. Anyone else notice this quirk? ---- What I am referring to here is: If you shut down your Power computer in a quick but non-standard manner, that is, Control- Command -Power, then press the physical power off button, or alternately press the Power box's reset (old programmer switch?) then press the physical power off button, it does NOT power off in 10.1 as it would in 9. the Box resets and powers itself up again. a Power off occurs on a Mac 7500, 7600 8500 8550 and a Umax S900. On a Power Tower Pro, Powerbase, or Power Center it instead resets; in 10.1. I have not loaded 10.2 so cannot comment on Jaguar here. but it DOES power it off in 9.1 -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
