Yes, you are missing something. shutdown(8) is a sort-of frontend to reboot/halt. It contains additional functionality and calls /sbin/halt or /sbin/reboot. So the combination already exists. Further halt(8) and reboot(8) are the same program, as you can easily verify using ls -i. The shutdown(8) frontend adds warning-messages and grace-time features to reboot/halt.=20 HTH, Daniel --=20 IRCnet: Mr-Spock - All your .sigs are belong to us - Daniel Lang * dl@leo.org * +49 89 289
