This is something I needed. I wish I had known about sooner. It works great on Kubuntu 14.10. Thank you.

I wonder what is the point of providing obsolete packages for old distributions and even saying so. You can quite easily package KShutdown (http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/4177). In fact, since I have actually already packaged KShutdown in home:llunak:kde, you could have it even simpler, you could just add that OBS info to the kde-apps.org information about the package, the setup has already been done by me and now it's only a matter of version updates, which is pretty trivial.

Hi, great app!
I was planning to do an app like this myself. But as always someone smarter had already done it better!

Anyway, I was thinking of a nice feature. It would be great to be able to set some rules for when to shut down. For example when a program (or the systems) network load/transfers goes down under a set value the computer shuts down. Or if the processor load stays under 30 % for 5 minutes or if appXX uses less than 10% (eg idle) the computer shuts down.

Both changes in network load and CPU load are things that you might want the computer to "act" on. For example: I'm transcoding a DVD --> xvid and want the computer to shutdown when finished a CPU-load rule would come handy!

Again: Great app!

since hibernate and suspend appear to be laptop only options (at least to my pc) could you add "suspend to disk"

thanks,

Hi,

AT first, thank you very much for this so useful app.

However, I think it would be a great improvement to it if you can add a feature to choose another OS to boot into (while rebooting). What I mean is: if I have a dual boot system, say Linux and Windows, both, and I am rebooting from Linux, I should be able to choose which OS I want to boot into, Linux or Windows.

There is an app called "GRUB NextBoot" [ http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=12140 ] to deal with the OS stuff, but I think it would be much better if this feature gets incorporated in Kshutdown also.

Thanks!!

Hi all!

This is one great utility!

Hello, is there any chance to see a kontact-integration ?
This would be a tremendous step for Desktop users to use it in a useful manner.

This features could be really great semi-hidden in an "Advanced" button when the user press in "shutdown" icon.

But there is no sense this app to exist as standalone app.

I hope your goal will be to contact KDE developes to do a real integration in the "shutdown" dialog.
