I have a big and somewhat complicated BrickOS program that I believe is
reasonably well behaved.  All my loops monitor shutdown_requested and I
have
tested stopping the program with the Run button while the program is in
various
states and it always seems to shutdown perfectly.  My problem is if I
shutdown
with the Off button.  In that case the firmware crashes and I have to pull
the
battery out to reset the RCX and then re-download the firmware.

I believe the same thing happens if I leave the program running and the
RCX does
an auto-shutoff though I don't have recent experience with this.  How do
you set
the auto-shutoff to either a very long time or disable it completely?

Gus,

It sounds like the code is testing for pressing the run button, but not
pressing the power button.

I would think testing for shutdown would be good enough, but who knows...
:)  What version of BrickOS are you using?

I'd be glad to take a look at it, if you want.

Steve
