(don't know if shutdown -r now shuts down all > program's) shutdown -r shuts down *everything*. Reboot restarts them. Take a look at your sendmail process: $ ps aux|grep sendmail root 129 0.0 0.3 540 188 ?? Is Sat07PM 0:02.20 sendmail: accepting connections on port 25 (sendmail) grog 8668 0.0 1.0 252 648 p8 S+ 8:02AM 0:00.03 grep sendmail Look at the date (Sat07PM in this example). It will point to shortly after the reboot. If you look in /var/log/maillog, you should see something like: Aug 16 19:06:24 freebie sendmail[129]: starting daemon (8.8.7): SMTP+queueing@00:30:00 > Every time I shut down and restart my computer my ext2fs has errors, and > when unmounting the disk first it works ok.

But what does this have to do with shutdown? :-( nothing to do about that huh? just learn from your faults...) Hopefully. After reading your message, I don't really know whether there's a problem here or not. I'm sure umount gets called for the file systems, but it may fail. Has anybody else seen this? Greg
