Hi, everyone! I wanted to make a quick post about shutdown option on the Budgie desktop. And I am sorry if this was already mentioned somewhere in previous posts, I didn't find anything this specific tbh.. 🙂
Wouldn't it be great if pressing the shutdown button would give a timer of like 30seconds in which it would automatically poweroff , while also having a regular option to just press the "Shutdown" and make it instant.
I am talking here for everyone that needs that "extra" monitor light,in the dark room, to get off the chair, put their headphones away , walk to the bed,light switch,etc.. Making us to be careful not to trip on something in the dark. 🙂
I am just wondering if this can/has already been done, in that matter I tried shutdown command but couldn't find a right way to make it shutdown in 30s or so because I had to write the exact time for it to happen ["hh:mm"] . If there is a command that can execute the shutdown sequence in 30 sec or so, I guess we could make an .sh script for it, right?

    laky You can use budgie-countdown-applet. It has an option to execute a command after the countdown is finished.

    oh wow, I just made a completely useless post. While I was messing with that applet @algent suggested (Thanks btw). I realized something what I didn't understand in the manual page if I just write shutdown it does a default of 1 min before shutting down, no need to write 'hh:mm' . So I guess I can just use that ! Problem solved.
    Thanks again. Great distro!
