Aha, my problem was not having AutoRestart on. It wasn't clear to me from the gui that it is necessary to have this on in order for the Shutdown/Restart function to work. THANKS! > Since I do not use Service or Daemon (I also don't use autorestart) > Fritz's comment is probably correct that if it runs as a service or > daemon, this wont work. I only had it running as a daemon because I thought that was necessary to run as a non-root user. I think I got that impression from some random Howto, but its false so I'm all set now. > I can also see a problem with busier installations which will depend on > the init script you use.

For this reason I am using: AutoRestartCmd:=sudo /etc/init.d/assp start This will only start the ASSP, not issue any kill commands. Seems to work fine, and is more in line with the suggested command in the gui.
