NAME

       qprogram-starter - A program starter tool

SYNOPSIS

       qprogram-starter

DESCRIPTION

       qprogram-starter is a simple Qt4 program to start a program or process. If you like with the options to set a start date, to log output and
       errors, and to shutdown after finish.

       This program uses qdbus to send a shutdown request to the gnome- or kde-session-manager. If it won't  do  gnome-power-cmd  or  gnome-power-
       cmd.sh  will  be  used.	When  this  also  fails then qdbus will send the shutdown request to HAL or ConsoleKit (note that when sending the
       request to HAL or ConsoleKit the session will never be saved). And if this won't do as well, the sudo shutdown command  will  be  used.	In
       this case you need root-rights, so one can to 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.

Configurationfile qprogram-starter.conf
       The configurationfile (and logfiles) is located at ~/.qprogram-starter

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 qshut-
       down.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']"

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)).
