Net Retry / 519 Error... More

[Bill Root]

If you're using the Dantz cShutdown script, try 
uninstalling it.  One one older Mac here it was 
hanging the machine under one version of OS X and 
causing the backup to fail with network failures 
under another.  It looked like the scan worked, 
but the connection would be lost sometime after 
that.  I suspected, but did not verify, that the 
script was engaging prematurely.


Finest regards,
