Well, what I was saying was that /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh is a script which appears to query GNOME, then KDE, then just give up and shutdown. # If gnome-power-manager, kpowersave or klaptopdaemon are running, let # them handle policy This is effectively the same as 'acpi-support's # '/usr/share/acpi-support/policy-funcs' file. ... # Otherwise, if KDE is found, try to ask it to logout. # If KDE is not found, just shutdown now. ... # If all else failed, just initiate a plain shutdown. I'm going to try and comment out the /sbin/shutdown at the end (after that 'als else failed'). -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
