It is called by cron in the daily, weekly, and monthly processing but has nothing to do with shutting down. To automate a shutdown cron is the best place if you intend to have it shutdown at the same time every (day, week, etc). If you want it to be a little more flexible then a script with some intelligence can be called by cron to control it. You can even set up the power control to shutdown/hibernate/suspend for you. > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
