How to remove 'press any key' at the end of a shutdown ?

**ktheking** · 05-28-2003, 03:40 PM

Hello all,

When you performed a shutdown ,and the cd has ejected (or has not ejected using the noeject cheatcode) there is still a line which asks 'Press any key ..' .
How can I remove this ?
The reason I ask this is because I use knoppix for several purposes remotely. And occasionaly a reboot is nessescary (yes linux nevertheless can freeze

).
But when I reboot remotely the line 'Press any key.. ' appears ,after it has closed my remote session

.
I've been googling around and didn't found any conclusive answer to this dumb problem.
There was something in a forum something about a 'nowaitenter' ,but didn't end in anything conclusive.
Does anybody has an idea how to handle this (beside pressing any key

)

I just press the reset button when that prompt comes up if I don't want to shut down.

No, but I got something else that ... Nevermind

I think the cheatcode noeject should get rid of the ejecting CD-ROM and maybe might help? Not sure cause I haven't used that cheatcode ...

Ignore this now as I just reread your post again .....

OK

I got advice from our german friends on the german forum.
This is how it go's : (ONLY for use on bootcd ,not HD installed knoppix)
type as root :

Code:

reboot -f

for instant reboot,surpassing every shutdown,logoff script)

or

Code:

shutdown -f

for instant shutdown,surpassing every shutdown,logoff script)
combined with WOL (wake on LAN) tool enables you to control knoppix from a distance.
WOL tool for DOS (works on XP and W2K too) :

--FYI, you can use this when installed to HD - it's in the ' halt ' man page - but you should take some precautions beforehand:

o ' umount -a '
o ' sync '
o ' swapoff all '

o Logout of everything except 1 root terminal
o Umount everything else possible (' df ' to check)

o ' mount / -oremount,ro ' == Justincase
o ' reboot -f '
