Found another error :-( Need full path for shutdown. I had tested from command line via ssh and though it was OK.
This script really works :-) #!/bin/bash #install xprintidle cron #add cron entry to lts.conf export DISPLAY=:7 export XAUTHORITY=`ps -ef|grep xinit |grep -v grep|cut -d" " -f 26` #`grep XAUTHORITY /var/log/ldm.log` # time is in miliseconds #90 minutes 90*60*1000 5400000 idletime=`/usr/bin/xprintidle` #/bin/date +%T >> /tmp/idletime #echo $idletime >> /tmp/idletime if (( $idletime > 5400000 )) ; then /sbin/shutdown -h now; fi ...................................... Anyone know of a better way? Maybe someone with a better understanding of ltsp knows of a better way to get the xauth set?
