However, if you want to force another run of the program, you can do so as the root user. Open a system terminal session from the menu. type in "su - " and root's password. Shutdown all programs except the system terminal window. Switch back to the system terminal window and type in the following command: shutdown -r -F -y now This issues the shutdown command, reboot, force file system check, answer all prompts on shutdown with 'yes' and do this command now. Using the 'man shutdown' command will give you further options for this command. James McKenzie A Proud User of Linux!
