If I log into a host via ssh from my workstation then I can enter this: shutdown -r +90& and log out. The shutdown command will continue in effect and will activae 90 minutes later. However, if I do this instead: ssh -t host.domain.tld 'shutdown -r +90&' then the shutdown command does not remain in effect. Why is this so and is there some way to achieve this? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.
