Shutdown alternatives?

[tripleb]

Meanwhile, my Ubuntu system is ready for use.

One last thing I’m looking for is a way to shutdown this headless system more elegant.
Currently I can

• Shutdown by MS Remote Desktop

• SSH to this machine and

  Code: Select all

  sudo shutdown now

Both ways need more or less interaction. I’m looking for something like a power off button in the virtual console which I could trigger by a OSC message. Or something like the opposite of wake on LAN

Any suggestions?

Argh, somtimes things are more easy than they look:

1. create a shell script (e.g. poweroff.sh) in your user folder with

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/poweroff

2. make the script executable
3. create a script function in QLC+ with

Code: Select all

// System shutdown (immediate)
systemcommand:/home/[pathtoyourscript]/poweroff.sh arg: 

Connect it to a button, save and done...
