I don't think there is such a command. I'm not 100% sure though.

I believe there used to be some viri for Unix-like OSs, but they are all 
pretty much harmless since they aren't usually found 'in the wild'.
A quick search on www.viruslibrary.com gave me one match [1] - maybe 
someone else can comment that.

I don't know.

Check your shell's man page. Given that you are using csh(1) (which is 
root's default shell on FreeBSD) you should add such an entry in ~/.cshrc

No.

It definitely works w/ my TFT Screen.
Depending on your BIOS and how well it is supported, you might be able 
to use ACPI for power-saving purposes on FreeBSD 5.x

Install /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade and read portupgrade(1)'s man 
page. You might also find some other resources on the internet. Use your 
favourite search engine :-)
