Aaargh....

When i try to shut down the pc, it wont run the /sbin/halt and /sbin/reboot 
commands (I have them symlinked to init 0 and init 6). Well yes, it runs 
them, but it only returns me to the prompt. It doesnt actueally reboot or 
halt the pc. Im not entirely sure what is going on here since this works fine 
from the getties which are allso run from within a run script.

Any ideas?
