I'm still running 2.1R, but it's unlikely it got moved in 2.1.5 or 2.1.6 . If you don't have /sbin in your path, try accessing /sbin/shutdown instead. If that doesn't work, check your permissions on that machine. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
