Re: N00b: shutting down freebsd server

Hello Seniors,
I think it supports ACPI. When I press the power
button it sends signal 15, then it stops the
processes. Then it shuts down the system.

 If your server supports ACPI and it's shutting down
 clean, it's OK.
 But if your power-button switches your system off
 immediatly, use
 shutdown -p now.

It's absolutely okay to use the power button to shutdown the system
then.

Perfect, it's shutting down cleanly then. yeah, it's fine to hit the  
atx button to halt it then... but don't hold it down, or it'll die  
uncleanly.
