Hi,
I have an 'emerge system' going on that will do 74 packages. I
would like to halt it for the evening and restart it tomorrow. Is
there anything more elegant then kill or Ctrl-C for doign this?
Many thanks,
Mark

Use Ctrl-Z instead and then in the morning use fg to restart it. Just kidding. Actually, when I had Software Suspend 2 setup on my computer I could leave emerge running through suspend to disk with no problems.
If you're really going to do a full shutdown though, I recommend Ctrl-C and then "FEATURES=keepwork emerge --resume" in the morning. With keepwork portage won't clean up the builds automatically so you need to manually clean up PORTAGE_TMPDIR in order to reclaim diskspace.

Thanks Zac. By the time this message came through it was at 72 out of
74 so I just let it finish. However I'll save the suggestion for next
time this comes up.
cheers,
Mark
