[comp.unix.i386] Autobooting 386/ix

news@bram.UUCP ( News) (07/10/90)

I would like to know if there is any way to boot the 386/ix OS from a cron
file.  I have tried init 0 and init 6 but they don't seem to work right.
Init 0 hangs and you have to hit a key to get it going again.

I would appreciate any suggestions and ideas.

Thanks

Have you ever tryed to enter 'kill -7 1'. It does the same than init 5
