Automatic Reboot?

[Drew Lane]

Thanks Bill,

I did try this a little while ago on the 6360 but I got
"kernal access of bad area" error once the rc.local file
got loaded.  The 6360 is not a NuBus mac, but it does
have a processor upgrade in it.  It's got some version
of OS9 on it, so I would think the advanced tab would
be there if it were supported.

I couldn't verify the 'powerup-boot' file because the gwiz% command
doesn't seem to work (not sure what this does).

I will check the battery (it's rigged up with a homemade
style thingy I made up, so that could be it).

Hopefully this will work on the 7600 which is more important
to me anyway.

Drew
