True, but what I forgot to mention, if C-A-D can bring my machine back to live,
why not keep it alive( or at least try)? This can give me a moment to clean up
the mess and save some things.
You wrote somebody that C-A-D are no 'magic' keystrokes, but why are they
the only thing to wake up my machine?( for 2 secs.) Sounds like magic to
me..
I would like a Escape option if the 'Shutting down filesystem' windows pops
up, combined with a timer.
Rebooting takes about 3-4 minutes on my machine. And I'm very lazy and
impatient ( Do I still qualify for Coder of the Year ? ;-)


Toedeloe,
Jorgen de Gier
