Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG (should this be cc-ed to stable?) I have something strange here that I cannot reproduce. I'm not even sure if it is os-related. Sometimes the machine simply reboots. X does not shut down, filesystems do not dismount correctly, _but_ there is an entry in wtmp: spidey@freed [01:39pm] spidey$ last reboot reboot ~ Tue Mar 30 12:40 [...] I did _not_ call this reboot with any command that I know of. I was simply surfing the web with netscape on a iijppp connection, and trying to listen to a realaudio stream when the machine shutted down. This happened about 4 times in 2 days. Maybe it is a physical connection to the machine that is cheap or bad. What I want to know is if a sudden shutdown like this (like a power outage) would write the wtmp logs? Thanks oh, BTW, I follow stable...:) Last cvsup & make world was yesterday.
