I'm Currently running Centos 3.4 on an old Dell PowerEdge with dual PIII-450 processors.

I know from searching that 'APM is not SMP safe' and so when I choose to reboot the server someone has to hit the power button to power down and then restart it.

Most of the Web-based info I have found on APM and SMP is dated 2000-2002 so can anyone update me on whether there is now any way round this to allow an unattended reboot?

Add "apm=power-off" to the kernel line in your grub.conf.
