Hello Charles,

Yes and no :-) The sequence should be sent during shutdown, but I couldn't
manage this with 'echo'. So I had to pull some parts out of mgetty and
write a small C-program from it.
I can mail it to you, but I have it at home, not at work, so you would have
to be patient until tomorrow :-)
DISCLAIMER: It was never intended to leave my pc at home, so be prepared
to receive a HACK, not a program :-)

Best regards,
	Lutz
