Use CTRL-ALT-F1 (or -F2, -F3, ...) to get to the console. From there, ALT-F7 goes back to X, which will still be running.

Can you log in on the vm via ssh? Is a sendmail-equivalent command available to you there? There are various tricks that can be played with ssh tunneling and/or with remotely running sendmail via ssh. (I'll be happy to provide more details if an ssh-based approach is feasible for you.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian |

Google definitely seems to be more concerned with what people will be using tomorrow instead of what most people are using today, to be sure.

I think the ultimate point is that we shouldn't have to emulate some other software to browse the web.

I suppose the brute-force method would be an rgrep haldaemon from / There's got to be a better way. But if not, consider something like ionice. Doug.
