Shutdown icon on desktop (one click shutdown)

Post by bigpup »

desktop icon for shutting down the computer.

In Rox file manager.
Go to /usr/bin
Left click hold and drag file wmpoweroff to the desktop.
Now have power off icon on desktop.

Right click on desktop icon for file.
To change name -> edit item
To change icon -> set icon
( normal icon set is located at /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps )

Can also do this:

Make script file and place on desktop.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# This powers off Linux Puppy !
#
wmpoweroff

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o
