Shutdown Timeout

[Shahar Dag]

Hello

try a script that first calls xdialog to get the time and then calls shutdown -h -t with that time

  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) :-)



  [ShutdownButton]
         ||
         || click
