I need to cause a reboot from a remote login after changing the kernel with idbuild. Is there a way to do this with just shutdown? Can it be done with a call to reset the system? I know under ISC, and probablyy the rest too, you can issue an init 6 and the system will shutdown and reboot. If somebody is on-line, you might want to let them know as it bypasses the /etc/shutdown script. Bill -- Who : Metro Link, Inc.
