Nope. I just thought of this last week and changing the wait at backup
to NO has fixed it in every case. Tapping the space bar and moving the
mouse doesn't bring it back up. It appears if the energy saver turns the
screen off but nothing else and the does a shutdown with the Retro
client set to wait you're in limbo land. But interesting enough File
Sharing is still up and going.

It's been there for years, but you must bring up the dialog for it to 
work (not in screensaver mode). Wiggling the mouse or hitting the KB 
will bring the dialog up when the screensaver is running.

I wonder if that's new, as I've tried it in the past with no result when
the bouncing Dantz was visible.

I found that you can type 'r' or 's' in the Retrospect Client's Wait at
Shutdown dialog and the computer will either restart or shut down
appropriately. Probably would solve your problem.

I think I've solved my morning computer lockups

[David Ross]

Situation.

Some computers would be locked up in the morning when folks came in. It
appeared to be sleeping but couldn't be awakened.

I normally set all desktops to turn off at 5:30am to allow time for the
backup but have them off over weekends and holidays. (This is in
multiple offices.)

I finally figured out that it was likely the retro client waiting for
shutdown. If the energy saver turns off the monitor, then does an
automatic shutdown, AND the retro client is set to wait you get STUCK.
(Well I guess you could move the mouse a little at a time trying to hit
one of the buttons.)

So I've been trying to remember to turn off the DEFAULT wait at shutdown
that you get when you install a client but is there a way out of this
when it does happen?
