The message is being printed because the shutdown command sends the SIGTERM signal to syslogd. That is, shutdown informs syslogd it's time to shutdown... syslogd prints a message that it received the signal and exited. It is acting correctly... That is; the message is expected. But - it seems you're real problem is that you have to turn the power off to restart... when you do restart, it should cause the machine to be reset and begin its normal cold start (POST) tests. But; some machines don't work that way; and some newer ATX machines have problems... Can you tell us what machine you have; what motherboard, etc... - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
