Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi, I have tried several options like "exec:session-quit --log out","exec:wmpoweroff", "exec:poweroff", in the GUI for shortcut:
Menu---JWMdesk---hotkeys---command. None of them works, because, close Desktop, but keep running the system with an CLI window, waiting commands "root#"
Some command that could works in this context. Thanks!
Using F96-CE, at the moment very good impressions. a little hardweight but for my pc runs smooth, frugal install on the same partition of window10.

Hi:

It's possible this pet doesn't work in fossa, it's possible that is not what you need, it's possible..... but I love this pet, because you have a lot of options when shutting down (take a look at the image).

It's called PUP SHUTDOWN PET (here is the 3.0 version). You can download it from

https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code ... jY3b8tzBBy

I love it, because it gives to you the SUSPEND option, no other shutdown program gives it to you.... and whith it you gonna save energy, disk health....

The attached file can be copied to /root/my-applications/bin/ and then drag an icon to the desktop. It ask no questions, just goes straight to shutdown.
You can also just use jwm to make hotkeys if you like.

Are you using F96-CE_2 the latest version?

you used this ISO:

F96-CE_2.iso

Yes, that same.

Or you can just use rox to drag /sbin/poweroff on to your desktop.

I then rename it "Shut Down" so the TD users understand.

Then I set the icon to use the /usr/share/pixmaps/puppy/shutdown.svg

What brand/model of machine are you using?
Also - what pupmode are you running before shutdown?

Being a keyboard user, I open my terminal and type "po" (poweroff) or "rb" (reboot). I setup alias in .bashrc

alias po='wmpoweroff && exit'
alias rb='wmreboot && exit'

make sure to save whatever you are working on before. This works in all pups.

create a desktop symlinks to /sbin/poweroff and /sbin/reboot, assign each an icon and then there will be 2 icon shortcuts on the desktop for shutdown and restart one click away.

Or put the shortcuts on the tray or panel
