qshutdown will show itself 3 times as a warning if there are less than 70 seconds left.<br/><br/>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 (note that when sending the shutdown 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). So 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:<br/><br/>Paste the following in a terminal:<pre>EDITOR=nano sudo -E visudo</pre>and add this line:<pre>* ALL = NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown</pre>whereas * replaces the user name or %group name.<br/><br/>The maximum Number of countdown_minutes is 1440 (24 hours).<br/>The configuration file is located at <i>%1</i>.<br/>The log file is located at <i>%2</i><br/><br/><b>For admins:</b><br/>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 the ini file to true. Note that qshutdown has to start once to generate the qshutdown settings file. Furthermore there is a need to add the following line to the sudoers (as above):<pre>* ALL = NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/qshutdown</pre><br/>If you should ever forget your set password, just remove the whole line starting with "Password" manually from the qshutdown settings.<br/><br/><b>Hints on usage:</b><br/>If you want qshutdown to stop "bugging" you, just remove the hook from "warnings on?".To make that permanent, just do the same in the preferences.<br/><br/><b>Hotkeys:</b><table border="1"><tr><td>Ctrl+I</td><td>(this) information window</td></tr><tr><td>Ctrl+Q</td><td>Quit</td></tr><tr><td>Ctrl+P</td><td>Preferences</td></tr><tr><td>Ctrl+L</td><td>write the run time once into the logfile (works only if qshutdown quits. To make it permanent set it in the preferences.)</td></tr><tr><td>Ctrl+S</td><td>set to shutdown</td></tr><tr><td>Ctrl+R</td><td>set to restart</td></tr><tr><td>Ctrl+U</td><td>set to suspend to RAM</td></tr><tr><td>Ctrl+H</td><td>set to hibernate</td></tr><tr><td>Ctrl+E</td><td>stop countdown (only if the countdown has started and the admin didn't restrict the access)</td></tr><tr><td>Shift+E</td><td>to edit the configuration file (for this a password is necessary.
