I looked in the manpage for shutdown, and shutdown -p now is supposed to turn off the computer. However it doesn't. I have a PII 450 with the apm device turned on. Windows, and Redhat both do what I'm asking so I was just wondering what I'm doing wrong in FreeBSD. Kenneth Culver Computer Science Major at the University of Maryland, College Park.
