Now I am puzzled. This machine just did an unrequested reboot. I have gkrellm watching things and I don't see a thing out of line. Temps are all 40C or below, voltages are nominal + maybe 5%, stable as always. I had to kill several copies of kmail before I found them all, then restarted bin/mailwatcher, and it restarted kmail at exactly where it was shut down. One of those things that make you go hummmmm. Twasn't a power bump, there was no blink to the overhead lights, and there is a ups that will run it right past a failure long enough to start the 20kw standby. So I have not a clue. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
