Re: Shutdown Script

When I look in boot/home/config/boot/UserShutdownScript there isn't one there. Is it as easy as using style edited and nameing the file ShutdownScript.sh? How do I enter a command to shut down a specific program?

Re: Shutdown Script

It gives you the file name in the userguide: /boot/home/config/boot/UserShutdownScript
This is executed as a shell script. You can create/edit it with any editor you want.

If you want to send commands to a specific application you'll want to use the 'hey' program

For example to quit an app named foo: hey foo QUIT

There are various documents floating around talking about using hey.

Re: Shutdown Script

The Shutdown Script does not seem to get executed on shutdown. I tried it and it does not seem to work (it didn't work in A2 either).

Did anyone get it to work on A3?

Thanks,

Re: Shutdown Script

Yup. Guess it's still on the todo list.

Re: Shutdown Script

I can make the "hey BeDock quit" command work from a terminal window. But, alas the UshershutDown script isn't running. Bummer.
