Turn off problem

Re: Turn off problem

I found script kpoweroff on kde-apps.org:
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php...?content=11875

This script creates an item in Kmenu that make possible to shutdown your linux box without have to wait to close session.
Its intenteded to be be used if your using GDM.
Its my first script here in kde-apps.org.
It was tested in fedora so please read the readme file if you use other distro.


I can install it only tomorrow.
What do you think, is there program that I need?

Re: Turn off problem

It mentions GDM instead of KDM, go figure...
Probably worth a try.

Re: Turn off problem

Perhaps. I thought of installing it myself, but then I realized I could do just the same thing and still use the usual shutdown things.
(Only difference is that it won't reboot, but shut down regardless of the operation requested.)

Stick something like this in ~/.kde/shutdown:

#!/bin/bash
/sbin/shutdown -h now

...and make it setuid root (i.e. sudo chown root, sudo chmod 4770).
Now, every time you request a shutdown operation (shut down or reboot), it'll execute that script as root, shutting down your machine.
