I almost always use 'shutdown -r now' or a plain 'reboot' command. I think my problem here is that I'm missing some step, or something. I did eventually get the alias defined that I wanted to have defined, but I can't tell what it is that I do differently in the times where the 'nvalias' works vs. the times that it does not work. It does seem that I have to do more than just the 'nvalias' command. In any case, I seem to be okay for now. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
