Hi,
does anybody have an idea for the following behaviour:
I shutdown the computer using /sbin/shutdown -h 0 in the same script
that was calling /usr/local/bin/fvwm2. So, when fvwm2 exits shutdown is
called (see below). This works fine when I (1) use my fvwm menu to log
off from fvwm *and* (2) if I had an xterm open on the screen. In this
case some shutdown messages even appear in the xterm (which I also find
strange since fvwm "quit" is called prior...), then xdm and X and the
computer shutdown like it was expected.
In case that there was *no* xterm in fvwm - then fvwm, xdm and X
shutdown, then I see the log in screen on console 1 but the computer is
*not* shutdown. Nothing happens since I switch to Alt-F7. Then the
"rest" of the shutdown commands appear and 3 sec. later the computer
shutsdown...
What may be the difference between having an xterm running or not before
calling /sbin/shutdown ?
Below there are the commands I use to shutdown (I posted them some days
ago).
Thanks
Felix

Change the file which starts your window manager (in my case using
a gentoo distribution it's: /etc/X11/Session/fvwm2):
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/fvwm2
#add the following lines:
#sleep may help if this script is two quick
sleep 2
if [ -e /tmp/fvwm_exit_reboot ]
then
rm /tmp/fvwm_exit_reboot
/sbin/shutdown -r 0
fi
if [ -e /tmp/fvwm_exit_shutdown ]
then
rm /tmp/fvwm_exit_shutdown
/sbin/shutdown -h 0
fi
