"...and I need to reboot the AW70 as elegantly as possible..." What is
"rebooting"?
We run the 51 series instead of the 70 series. Our processors only go down
if the power grid goes down (3 or 4 times in 10 years). Am I supposed to
turn them off periodically? Why? Is this a "Microsoft advantage" thing?
The only problem I've noticed so far is that after about six years of
continuous operation, the picture tubes on the monitors begin to lose colors
(usually red goes first) and need to be replaced.
Sorry. You guys write about the "whiz bang" new stuff all the time. Since
our UNIX system never breaks, we never see the new stuff. (Insert crocodile
tears here.) <smile>

Ken,
The pulldown in FV simply fires of the /usr/fox/system32/foxshutdown
command.
The syntax of foxshutdown appears to be:
foxshutdown restart time ["message"]
where:
restart = 0 (shutdown) or 1 (restart)
time = seconds before shutdown
message = anything you want to say on the pop-up
So, to shutdown in 5 seconds it would be: foxshutdown 0 5 "Shutting down"
and to restart in 17 seconds would be: foxshutdown 1 17 "Restarting"
You could build a shortcut on the desktop with these commands if you wish,
but we normally use the pulldown because we can restrict access to this
function to specified Environments.
I have had to use this in those rare instances where FV has died and I need
to reboot the AW70 as elegantly as possible (i.e. not using Windows restart,
or worse, the power switch!)
