How are you shutting down the system? There are many paths to that operation. You could use the root superuser command line. You could be using ctrl-alt-del on the text console. You could be using the menu selection from xdm/gdm/kdm. You could be using the menu selection from one of the desktop session managers. All are going to eventually reboot the machine but prior to doing that they may be calling 'wall' or may be sending the beep themselves. Try shutting down the system using a different method from whatever you have been using. For example if you have been using a desktop menu then try using the root command line shell. Instead of using 'shutdown' try using 'reboot -f' instead. # reboot -f The -f option will prevent reboot from calling shutdown which should prevent it from running all fo the shutdown processes such as wall, changing init levels and running the /etc/rc6.d/K* scripts. This is often a reboot that works when shutdown hangs on an nfs client problem. Using reboot -f isn't as tidy since it doesn't call the kill scripts. But everything should still be okay regardless. If reboot -f works okay for you then you could customize the inittab to call it instead of shutdown on ctrl-alt-del and still easily use it to reboot a system from the text console. Bob
