Hello,


There're times I have to switch off my computer after a given time. I haven't found this feature in KDE apps and plasmoids - I miss it much. To do this you have to grant root permission.

I solved it as follows:
in terminal I'm typing for example "sudo shutdown -h +60" and nice notification appears. It works.

I don't know - maybe I'm wrong and it works out of the box. So please correct me or give me another solution.

I'd like to submit it as brainstorm idea but first I want to confirm it.


cheers,
Wojtek

I guess there are another solutions. In the profiles of the energy settings you can specify a time after which the system is shutdown. And there is a Amarok script.

So there is a way apart from the command line. Maybe it makes sense to add this option to the shutdown plasmoid or the dialog which pops up when hitting the shutdown button.

You can use KShutdown:

thanks

but don't you think it should be a part of the KDE core? There's a plasmoid for switching off and login off - and I think this feature could be incorporated there
