Actually, when this was firing off on me, I was not having to fsck on boot. I just never got to see any shutdown message(s) and was perplexed by the system turning itself off just as I got logged into X. There were no shutdown messages in the logs just the temp warning. The lack of fscking on boot was confusing me actually. I was expecting a *real* software problem. To me, it looked like shutdown_nice() does it's job quite nicely. But I'm just a user. :-) -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org
