Re: Over ridding a shutdown command.

I might be missing the point here, but I don't think that's a question I can answer without knowing what OS you are using. Would you care to tell us?

I imagine it is unlikely that this is possible in Unix/Linux. There might be a slim chance you could do it in Windows NT/2K/XP.

But any solution is not going to be Perl related, so you might be better off going to a web site related to your particular OS.

Not that it's germaine to the original questioner or has anything to do with Perl, but if you use `shutdown` with a delay you can `kill` the `shutdown` process before the countdown is finished and the box shouldn't reboot.	[reply] [d/l]
