Hello
When I instruct my RH7.2 box to shutdown, it reboots itself again. I'm running an EP-MVP3M mobo, plenty of RAM/core and an 8.4 GB HDD.
How can I tweak this so that it shuts down when directed? I was thinking that it might be a BIOS setting, but if so, what I should look for?
Thank you all :)

The shutdown command is used both to shutdown and reboot the computer. Try:
shutdown -h now

Cheers Mr. Ben: I will try that next time.
What does the "-h" option mean?

-h means halt, as opposed to -r which means reboot.

For GUI fans, you may prefer choosing the halt option (the one
next to logout) from the menu.

or you can try:
#shutdown
/sbin/init 0
#restart
/sbin/init 6

A simple
man shutdown
would have told you the meaning of -h.
Remember to try the manpages first. Very handy.
