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)).
