roland Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 Hi the shutdown command must be your friend. on a shell, type man shutdown it will explain you what you all you can do with it roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvc Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 a proccess will not be able to shutdown unless it is run as root and even then? I d/k but I don't see why not. It it's run from a shell script you can edit it to perform the function. How?...haven't a clue...not a script expert...never played with them really, well not too much. to give you an idea [root@ml root]# aterm && sleep 10; exit let me see if I can shutdown like this ;) .............
