"init 0" on most systems (but not all!) i've seen (but all of the V3.2 systems 'fur sure) will bring the system to a halt. This is supposed to be the "about to be powered down state". Init 1 will do the same as init s except kill superfluous processes and unmount excess file systems. derek -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG
