i have problem with turning of my computer ,when i ,,turn off" it kill all processes then i hear ,,click" in PC .but it doesnt turn off

i use RH9 ,P4 2.4,mother bord is called ,,Intel BLU Mountain (i dont know now which kind of chipset it is ,i must look for it)

blue mountain

does it say 'power down' in your screen?

yes it say and then i hear ,click" in pc .... but nothing happend

is apmd running? in some mobos, u need to change something in your BIOS setup to be able to do an 'auto power off' in Linux.

apmd ? please explain me what it is

that's the advanced power management daemon. try running /sbin/modprobe apm, and uncommenting the /sbin/modprobe apm line in your rc.modules file to turn on apm every boot.

in redhat i ever tried two command to shutdown my linux:

1. shutdown -h now

2. halt -n

both the command can be used.

If you want your linux shutdown automatically,
why don't you tried both of the cammand above and see which one can immediatelly turn off the computer after It screen appear word "Power Down" and when you hear the sound "click".

Because i ever used one of them and it turn off the computer immediatelly, but i forget which one, coz i am very seldom to shutdown my linux box, i am just rebooting the linux box.

Hope this can help you

Try this for shutting down (as root):

modprobe apm
poweroff

Actually the modprobe apm bit can be inserted in your rc.d entries... but Red Hat uses SysV-style inits which I am not familiar with. Maybe someone else can help u with that.

Cheers

in school we could turn off and to enter in other computers with this terminal command vncviewer -shared.. but now they changed the command on ubuntu..linux

can someone tell me how is the command?
