It's times like these than make me want to go off to some dark place and hang my head in shame. I confess that I wasn't ever aware of the -p option for shutdown until now. I can't really explain why. Probably the last time I looked at that man page for shutdown(8) was also the first time I ever looked at it, and may well have been so long ago that it predated the very existance of the -p option. Anyway, thanks. >For example, I've programmed Ctrl+Alt+Moon on my Sun USB keyboard... Sun keyboards have moon keys?? (I hope and trust that I'm not the only one who finds this fact rather comical.

ISA -> PCI -> PCIe -> PCIe2.x -> PCIe3.x ... DRAM -> SDRAM -> DDR -> DDR2 -> DDR3 ... ATX 20 pin -> ATX 24 pin ... Somebody is always coming up with something new that will inevitably force me to spend money, buing new hardware, despite all my resistance. Regards, rfg
