Another good tip. I went to the directory winnt/inf. The srchasst.inf file is not there. Perhaps that's the underlying issue?
I'm looking forward to a reply. Meantime, I'm going to poke around and see if someone else has one I can peek at. Will also search MS knowledge base.
regards,
Steve
wooluf,
Really great hint. The knowledge base listed my symptoms. The fix looked promising. I went through the steps documented in the fix. No luck. Any other ideas will be tried!
thanks much,
Steve
My Search for Files option on my menu does nothing. I do have an option to search using Outlook, which does work, and searching works from Windows explorer, but searching via the start -> search for files path is inoperable, except for the outlook option. No messages in the event log, no dialog...
First off, thanks again for all the good ideas.
I agree that the inittab is for a UPS. the box could also get an SNMP shutdown event one way or another to trigger this.

Carlos,
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I checked /etc/power.conf, and the last row is:
autoshutdown 30 9:00 9:00 noshutdown
It's on one line, with no continuation. My background is HP-UX, and we had no autoshutdown on the servers I managed. So I'm...
I have an Axil (Sun Clone) running Solaris 6 with a Sybase SQL server on it and an external RAID. It periodically shuts down to the boot prompt for no apparent reason. Nothing in /var/adm/messages at all that indicates any issues. It does not have a frame buffer, keyboard, mouse or monitor...
I'm going to work on this today, and let you know what I find. I can't believe I got an answer so fast! Thank you so much for the assistance.

First off, thanks for any responses at all! I have a Sun Enterpise Ultra 2 clone running Solaris 5.6 with a Sybase SQL server on it. It should be running the power management daemon, but when it trys to start I get the message:
