I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and i have the following problem:
basically this machine is there to run amarok everysingle second its turned on, meaning i turn on my machine, and sound starts blaring, until i turn it off (without ever looking at the screen, using the mouse etc.)

And all of it does work, except that when i shut down  ubuntu, amarok is to slow to shut down properly and gets SIGKILLed it seems, and so it never saves it's current location on the (rather large) playlist.

And so i want to know how to shut down amarok properly, so it saves the playlist.
Something like a shutdown script shut work, but i havent found a single command that acts like the (rightclick on tray icon -> quit action) For me that action keeps playing music anywhere from 4-10 seconds after the tray icon dissapears

Or maybe i can change amaroks behaoviour somehow to save the playlist location every x minutes or something.

Or maybe someone knows how to tell ubuntu to wait x seconds before sending SIGKILL after SIGTERM?
