| 114722 | 2003-01-17 20:10:00 | Hi Does anyone know how to add a time delay to the computers reset button? (I have already enabled the 4 second delay through the BIOS for the main power on/off button). I cant find any options in the BIOS to do this and would like to make the reset button child resistant also! Many thanks for any help/suggestions |

| 114724 | 2003-01-17 20:21:00 | I have made the reset button on vanessa, (my doze box) child resistant. I removed the little plastic knob so reset can only be achieved by inserting a pencil or similar object to push the shaft of the switch itself. I dought if a delay could be set up as such, as it is a kind of emergency stop. Perhaps some sort of timed switch could be bought, but that sounds ugly and complex. I have considered disconecting the reset button on Sam, (the Linux box) simply because there is absolutly no need for it! *puts "disconnect reset button" on the to do list for next time i open the case... when ever that might be* .Clueless |
