durvish Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I have a particular .wav I would like to play at shutdown. The only prob is that Mandrake shutsdown to quick and I only get a piece of the .wav. Is there a way to delay the shutdown so the whole .wav will play through?

Steve Scrimpshire Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 How are you playing it at shutdown? You can create a new launcher that does this play shutdown.wav && shutdown -h now And shutdown won't be called until the .wav is finished playing. Or you could just delay the shutdown like this: shutdown -h +3 The +3 is relative time in minutes. You can also do shutdown -h 15:30 which will wait until 3:30 PM to shutdown. Look at man shutdown for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durvish Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 I'm running the .wav file with KDE's System Notifications and shutting down and/or rebooting from the KDE menu. I'll try creating that launcher and let you know how it went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
