It happens because the real parent is gone. That means that init becomes the parent. When you send init a TERM signal, it shuts down the system to single-user mode. You just did a "kill -TERM 1". > (When you exit the fix-it shell, the computer finishes booting, it's like > going into single-user mode upon boot) It's not like single-user mode upon boot, it IS single-user mode. They are one and the same. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
