Thankfully, I've got a rather noisy harddrive in that box so I get some chance of knowing that the shutdown has begun when the activity rises. It doesn't power off though (old m'board) so that's a case of wait and hope. > I still type "now" for "0" weird I know. (I didn't know 0 was allowed.) :-) That is one command that should just *not* change, IMHO.
