Title: RE: shut down problem

I haven't been following this thread, but 'init 0' is what I use to

shutdown my linux servers completely. (If they power back on

by themselves, it might be a setting in your BIOS).

 

'init 0' is not as 'graceful' as shutdown, which does proper 

housecleaning and allows processes to terminate themselves

and their child processes. 'init 6' will reboot your machine.

What happens if you 'init 0'?

No luck Dave.  It simply reboots.
Any other suggestions.
I'm stumped.

thanks
