Hello, When the electricity goes off, the NeXT won't reboot, you have to press the Power key. It is a bit annoying because we have a server that is suppose to run all the time. Is there a way to have the NeXT reboot when the electricity comes back? I think it has to be by a physical mean (electronic or something). Thanks, Michel Jacquot jacquot@crim.fr

NeXTStation Color machines have a different clock chip than the older monochrome machines. There is a preferences pick that tells them how long to wait to power up, after being shut down. I believe that you can tell them to power up immediately.

Also, monochrome machines manufactured after approximately when NeXTStation Color machines started to ship have this clock chip. As far as I have seen, 040 upgrades to Cubes do NOT have this, but cubes purchased with 040 boards in them originally might have them. In any event, the way to get at the menu is to login as root on the Console, then in Preferences choose the StartupDevice icon. There will be a little pop-up menu in the upper right side of the box if this option is available on your machine. -- David Lemson (217) 244-1205 University of Illinois NeXT Campus Consultant / CCSO NeXT Lab System Admin Internet : lemson@uiuc.edu UUCP :...!uiucuxc!uiucux1!lemson NeXTMail accepted BITNET : LEMSON@UIUCVMD

Login as root and open the preferences icon, find the power button, choose power from the pop-up list and set the "Turn computer on:" to "after power off/failure". Easy huh? >Michel Jacquot -Mike -- Mike Henry mikhe@flab.fujitsu.co.jp /// Fujitsu Nakahara House West 8 #524 mikhe@cs.uoregon.edu /// 6-7-1 Shimokodanaka, Nakahara mikhe@ida.liu.se \\\/// Kawasaki 221, JAPAN \XX/
