I don't think FreeBSD has any fundamental limitation in this respect. This is just a problem that needs to be solved. If nothing else helps, I can write a custom version of kern_shutdown.c. I just thought somebody had already solved this and I didn't want to reinvent the wheel. >I'm way to green to be able to help, but thanks for taking the time to >re-explain your situation. No problem at all. Re-explaining the problem forces me to think it over from another viewpoint. It might bring me or somebody else closer to the solution. Thank you for you thought effort, too! -- Cheers, Petri Metis / Petri Riihikallio GSM: +358 400 505 939 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
