Thanks. I'll remember that for the next time I screw it up.

Just a little story for your amusement. Ok. So I replaced my cable-modem today. Most of the effort involved was in dealing with the cable company so that they had my new mac address. Naturally, I neglected to verify that the mythtv boxes were still recording everything ok, since the recordings have nothing to do with the network. Or so one would think. No, at 10pm, I discover to my horror that The Office didn't record, nor did 2 other shows! Conflicts! Gahhhh! I check system info, and notice that tuners 3 and 4 are unavailable again. Damn. Ok. I run downstairs and check it. The machine seems ok. I hit alt-f3 and check upstairs. No difference. I go downstairs and try to play a recording there. The system immediately hangs. WTF? End up having to restart it. Loads the linux desktop fine, but nothing I can do will give me the MythTV program. Rebooting, restarting, nothing. (btw, is there a way to shutdown while in linux and while not in mythtv? I don't know how except from the shutdown command in mythtv. None of the desktop commands I can almost read seemed to work.) So I'm scratching my head while going back upstairs. I stop at my regular machine and try to putty into that box. Can't connect. I try to ping it. No luck. Aha! I'd had to power-cycle the router a few times while on the phone with the cable co. Maybe I yanked on a cable? I look at the router. No light on one of the cables. Unplug and replug in the network cable. Light goes on. I run downstairs. Things are working again! Gah! Now, you might be wondering why this post has "stupid pet tricks" embedded in the title. Well, that's simple. I blamed it all on the cat! |

Typing reboot at a command prompt also works nicely.

I always use the command reboot (as root) or poweroff |
