Shutdown Timeout

[Francisco Diaz Trepat - gmail]

Thanks, it was more about configuring the TIME it will take to shutdown,
lets say 2 hours, than the shutdown itself.
Nevertheless If i were to change it from system settings it will remain the
same, until I change it again.
I was looking for a more dynamic app. Kind of like a shutdown button, with a
popup and a field to specify the time, or the timeout period.

(best seen in courrier new) :-)

       || click
