Also, DW was running 'sudo shutdown -p now' which is indeed immediate .. 'shutdown -p +1' (say) sets the shutdown countdown to one minute, makes (w)all sorts of noise then and again at (as I recall) 30 seconds to zero, plenty of time to logout from other things and (auto)run any other scripts you like before the shutdown-initiated rc.shutdown stuff. Furthermore, if you change your mind you've got time to kill shutdown itself before the timeout. 'sudo killall shutdown' should do the trick.

It seems that this script, by means of /etc/rc.subr, will iterate all the files in (among others) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ and call them with the "faststop" argument. Maybe you could just add a script in there? (Actually, only files with a "# PROVIDES" line are considered, it seems, so you should think about that).

You could write a script with your logout tasks followed by the command executed by XFCE's shutdown commands. (I'm sure someone on this list can address this part.) Next, create a button or menu option on XFCE's panel to execute your script from a terminal application. Andrew L.

Andrew Gould wrote: --- DW <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, Have a bit of an issue here: Just started using a .bash_logout script to handle doing my unison commands whenever I logout at end of day so I don't forget to sync my local homedir to my server before I head home. Works fine as long as I just do a "# exit" when I'm done. But more often than not, I do a "# sudo shutdown -p now". The problem with that though, is that the shutdown process runs as root, and just drops the system, and I'm never actually getting logged out as much as booted out. So my .bash_logout doesn't run, and thus no unison unless I remember to run it manually first. Any ideas on how to work around this sitch? Thanks, DW Instead of using .bash_logout, why don't you create a script that runs all of your logout tasks and then ends with 'sudo shutdown -p now'? That's a good idea; I'll probably end up doing something like that; I was actually thinking of of just making bash aliases for reboot and shutdown, I guess that would do the same thing. The other problem though I just discovered is that that will work fine if I'm just in on a console, but if I'm running XFCE, and choose reboot or shutdown from xfce's exit menu, that won't work. If I can't find a way to get xfce to use my exit script(s), then I guess I'll just have to get into the habit of bailing out to a console first before shutting down. Andrew L.
