> Is the system doing a proper reboot or does it have to fsck the drives after > it reboots? And what flavor of Linux is this BTW? Mandrake Like I stated earlier, I was logged in when the system booted this morning and I did not see any broadcast messages. i have since enabled kernel logging and hopefully that will provide some other information as to the situation. In the meantime... Here is the boot messages from /var/log/messages: Nov 29 06:01:00 www anacron[2335]: Updated timestamp for job `cron.hourly' to 2000-11-29 Nov 29 06:18:39 www -- MARK -- Nov 29 06:38:39 www -- MARK -- Nov 29 06:58:51 www syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
