NAME

       qshutdown - An avanced shutdown tool

SYNOPSIS

       qshutdown [options]

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 itself 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/ConsoleKit/DeviceKit/UPower and if  none  of
       these works, the command  'sudo shutdown'  will  be  used.

OPTIONS

       -h --help
              Prints options with description.

       -i     Prints information about qshutdown.

       -v     Prints all errors and warnings.

NOTES

       When  sending  the  request  to  HAL  or  ConsoleKit, 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.

       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.

For admins:

       If you want qshutdown to run with "parental lock" for every user, you can do

        $ sudo cp /usr/share/qshutdown/autostart/99qshutdown /etc/X11/Xsession.d/

       and  set  the  option  Lock_all  in  /root/.qshutdown/qshutdown.conf  to  true.  Note that
       qshutdown has to start once  to generate the qshutdown.conf. Furthermore there is  a  need
       to do

        $ EDITOR=nano sudo -E visudo

       and add the following line to the sudoers:

        * ALL = NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/qshutdown

       If  you  should  ever  forget  your set password, just remove the whole line starting with
       Password manually from the qshutdown.conf.

FILES

       The configurationfile (and logfile) is located at ~/.qshutdown/ (under  Linux/Unix).   The
       maximum Number of countdown_minutes is 1440 (24 hours).

KNOWN ISSUES

       There is no system tray icon for qshutdown in Ubuntu 11.04.
       SOLUTION: Type the following line in a terminal:

        $ gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"

       For  most  systems  using  the  Gnome Shell a certain DBus method has been removed, thus a
       shutdown dialog will be likely to appear if qshutdown's methods have been set to automatic
       or  to  Gnome  session.  If  you  do  not  want this shutdown dialog to appear, please use
       ConsoleKit or something else.

HINTS ON USAGE

       If you want qshutdown to stop "bugging" you, just remove the hook from "warnings on?".

HOTKEYS

       Ctrl+I    information window

       Ctrl+Q    Quit

       Ctrl+P    Prefereces

       Ctrl+L    write the run time once into the logfile (works
              only if qshutdown quits. To make it permanent set it in the preferences.)

       Ctrl+S    set to shutdown

       Ctrl+R    set to restart

       Ctrl+U    set to suspend to RAM

       Ctrl+H    set to hibernate

       Ctrl+E    stop timer (only if the countdown has started and
              the admin didn't restrict the access)

       Shift+E   to edit the config file (for this a password is
              necessary. If you are a user, you can set an "empty password" (leave  the  password
              field empty)).
