As far as I know there is however no 'inside the OS'-function to take the system down when power fails. On the other hand the file system repair program (fsck) does a very good job and generally (every time?) brings the system up and running without manual intervention. Only when disks have been physically damaged have I needed to manually interact. Perhaps I am just lucky. FreeBSD supports APM, but that is not what you were looking for? /M > Best Regards ! > > Edmond Wong > Power Technologies, Ltd. ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
