RE: Suspending/shutting down the iPaq form Intimate

Addressing your other question: Shutdown is located in /sbin, which is in
root's .profile, but is not by default in /etc/profile. What this means is
that launching a shell in X does not pick up root's profile, but does grab
/etc/profile. Either type "su -" to pick up root's .profile ( and hence,
/sbin in your path ), or explicitly reference /sbin/shutdown, which works
mightily.

Regarding your sleep problems, is your whole system locked? or just certain
apps won't launch ( can't imagine this would happen )? Last I checked there
were still some problems with coming in and out of sleep mode with the
current bootloader, although they seem to be few and far between. I have
had a couple of scenarios when coming out of sleep mode when my system ( or
just X? ) locks up, and I need to reset.. ( god bless herr Reiser and his
magical journaling filesystem... )

Anyway, doubt this helps, but I really wanted to type something this
morning...

Jim,

Thanks for the fast response.

That's what I did, and now the X terminal, and on-screen keyboard won't
launch...

Is there any reason why applications wouldn't launch on wakeup? Also, is it
safe to reset the iPaq if nothing is responding/applications aren't
launching?

Cheers...

Dave
