    Adjusting shutdown timer

    Is there any way to adjust or disable the 30 second timer when you select Shutdown from the K/Leave menu in 10.04? I can't find anything on this.
    I am relatively new to Linux, but quite experienced with DOS and Windows.&nbsp; I&#39;m comfortable editing things like fstab, etc., but I need specific instructions of what files to edit and what to add.<br /><br />My system is Kubuntu 10.10, using KDE 4.5.1.

    Google tells me there is a "kshutdown" package that will let you make all kinds of adjustments. I haven't tried it personally.

    FYI, in a terminal window,

    Code:
    sudo shutdown now -h
    shuts it down as fast as it can go down;
    Code:
    sudo shutdown -h 12:00
    will shut it down at 12:00;

    Code:
    sudo shutdown -h +60
    will shut it down after 60 minutes.

    Lots of choices ....

      I just move my mouse to the button and click.

        Thanks, but I was hoping to adjust the existing feature.

        I guess that's a 'No.'
