NAME
qshutdown - An avanced shutdown tool
SYNOPSIS
qshutdown
DESCRIPTION
qshutdown is a simple tool to choose a time or a number of minutes to
shutdown, reboot, suspend or hibernate after.
qshutdown will show it self 3 times as a warning if there are less than
70 seconds left. (if 1 Minute or local time +1 Minute was set it’ll
appear only once.)
This program uses qdbus to send a shutdown/reboot/suspend/hibernate
request to either the gnome- or kde-session-manager, to HAL or to
DeviceKit and if none of these works, the command ’sudo shutdown’ will
be used (note that when sending the request to HAL or DeviceKit, or the
shutdown command is used, the Session will never be saved. If the
shutdown command is used, the program will only be able to shutdown and
reboot). So if nothing happens when the shutdown- or reboot-time is
reached, it means that one lacks the rights for the shutdown command.
In this case one can do the following:
Post the following in a terminal: "EDITOR:nano sudo -E visudo" and add
this line: "* ALL = NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown" whereas * replaces the
username or %groupname.
Configurationfile qshutdown.conf
The maximum Number of countdown_minutes is 1440 (24 hours). The
configurationfile (and logfile) is located at ~/.qshutdown
For admins:
With the option Lock_all in qshutdown.conf set to true the user won’t
be able to change any settings. If you change the permissions of
qshutdown.conf with "sudo chown root -R ~/.qshutdown" and "sudo chmod
744 ~/.qshutdown/qshutdown.conf", the user won’t be able to change
anything in the configurationfile.
