On PCs it's control-alt-del, >on Suns L1-A, but is there one on the cube? command-command-tilde Actually, there's a couple versions. Command-tilde gets the mini-monitor, command-command-tilde gets something (the regular monitor? I always use right-command-tilde) and left-command-left-alt-keypad* blows the machine away (ie, shuts it down). Now, for the disclaimer - never, ever use these. If you use them often, especially the alt-com-*, expect your machine to develop huge disk problems, and eventually data loss. These machines aren't _made_ for that kind of abuse. I warned you.

Command-command-backquote (hold down both command keys and hit the backquote character in the upper-left corner of the numeric keypad).

Right Command-backquote is the Vulcan Mind Meld: it just gives you a softer landing supposedly, and it asks you to type r to restart,instead of throwing you into the monitor, which might be frightening for the naive user. andrew
