shutdown command in kde4 [solved]

[onocentaur]

Can anyone tell me the command that brings up the shutdown dialog box in kde4? I found some info here about making a DCOP call but that's dated 2005 - for kde3 I guess - and won't work.
Basically what I want is a little plasmoid that displays only a shutdown button. I can make it 'just' shutdown by using "shutdown -h now" but I'd like the kde dialog to prevent accidental use, and to make it look nice!

Re: shutdown command in kde4

On of this forums regulars has a repository that contains a nice version of kshutdown for KDE4. It also contains servicemenu-rootactions which are very useful. You can find it at

Re: shutdown command in kde4

With the KDE 4 the dcop was replaced by the qdbus.

Turning off + 30 sec warning (konsole):

qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout 1 2 2

and those numbers are working same way as with the dcop (i think ).
1 2 2 = ShutdownConfirmYes ShutdownTypeHalt ShutdownModeForceNow

Package: qt4-dev-tools (Jaunty) has a handy tool: qdbusviewer



It is a qdbus viewer/browser...


The KShutdown is also in the official Jaunty repositories > Topic: KDE 4.2 RC: Shutdown computer withou logging out to KDM


A plasma-widget > LogOut

Description:
This is a modification of the lock/logout plasmoid. It's for those like me, who just need the logout button on the desktop or panel.

kshutdown is way more than I need, but the qdbus info is just perfect, thankyou!
