PupShutdown 1.4 will be available soon, plus the following new programs: JWM Clockset, PupApps, PupControl and PupSnap.
Good news, PupShutdown 1.3 works great on all pups that I've tried.

Thanks,
Jim

How would one replace Shutdown in the Lucid 511 menu with PupShutdown?
Also, what backup program is run by the backup button?

8-bit, thanks for your questions.

This would depend on the window manager, but for JWM in Lucid 511 you could try the following:

Go to /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc

To add the PupShutdown entry immediately below the Help entry:
Insert the following below line #28 (without the outside quotes):
“ <Program label="PupShutdown" icon="shutdown24.png">exec PupShutdown</Program>”

To replace the current Shutdown menu entry with PupShutdown:
Delete (or comment out) lines 30-38, and replace with the following (without the outside quotes):
“ <Program label="PupShutdown" icon="shutdown24.png">exec PupShutdown</Program>”

Then run /usr/sbin/fixmenus.

In the upcoming PupShutdown 1.4, the options for backup and task manager will be configurable. Backup selections will include gadmin-rsync, pbackup, pmirror and snap2. Task Manager selections will include pprocess, htop, lxtask and xfce4-taskmanager. If your choice is not among the default options, you can easily add another program to the option menu.

Thanks,
radky

Hi radky,
Do you have the corresponding code for Openbox?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you’re referring to the combination of Openbox and Fbpanel in the upcoming Lucid Puppy 5.2.

For the Fbpanel menu, you could try the following:

Go to /usr/sbin/pfbpanel

To add the PupShutdown entry immediately below the Help entry:
Insert the following on line #774:

echo "item {
name = PupShutdown
action = PupShutdown
image = /usr/local/PupShutdown/icons/shutdown20.png
}" >> $DEFAULT

Then run usr/bin/fbpanel_menu_refresh

---

The PupShutdown entry and surrounding script will look something like this:

echo "menu {
name = Help
image = ${X11PIXMAPS}/help24.png
item {
name = Help
action = defaulthtmlviewer file:///usr/share/doc/index.html
image = ${X11PIXMAPS}/help24.png
}
}" >> $DEFAULT

echo "item {
name = PupShutdown
action = PupShutdown
image = /usr/local/PupShutdown/icons/shutdown20.png
}" >> $DEFAULT

echo "menu {
name = Shutdown
image = ${X11PIXMAPS}/shutdown24.png
item {
name = Exit to prompt
action = wmexit
image = ${X11MINIICONS}/prompt16.xpm
}
item {
name = Reboot computer
action = wmreboot
image = ${X11MINIICONS}/mini-turn.xpm
}
item {
name = Power-off computer
action = wmpoweroff
image = ${X11MINIICONS}/mini-stop.xpm
}
item {
name = Restart X server
action = restartwm
image = ${X11MINIICONS}/mini-x.xpm
}
}" >> $DEFAULT

---

Regards,
radky

As you keep rebuilding this pet I take the liberty to ask for the... option "DO NOT SAVE" - at shutdown.


Nancy, I think your request could be very useful for those who boot Puppy in flash memory.


I am running quirky on a bootable usb flashdrive, and at shutdown Quirky tells me that things are already saved in the top laver.

Not sure if you can work around that. Not being able to select no save at shut down is a huge inconvenience when you do not want or need to save changes....killing the power or performing usb interruptus has never appealed to me.

How do I add PupShutdown to the first-order menu of IceWM in Lupu-511, Lupu-520 and Lupu-525?

Go to /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.icewm_menu.

To add the PupShutdown entry immediately below the Help entry of the IceWM menu:
Insert the following below line #52:
Code:
prog   PupShutdown shutdown24.png PupShutdown


To replace the current IceWM Shutdown menu entry with PupShutdown:
Delete (or comment out) lines 54-65, and replace with the following:
Code:
prog   PupShutdown shutdown24.png PupShutdown


Then run /usr/sbin/fixmenus.

Thank you nooby for your kind comments. Smile

In prior forum posts in this thread, you can find additional instructions for adding PupShutdown to the first-order menu of JWM or FBPanel/Openbox.

May I also thank radky for his huge & welcome contributions to Puppy.

An alternative approach which I have adopted is to edit the quick launch menu in ICEWM to provide icons for CD insert/eject & PupShutdown on the taskbar.

The syntax is slightly different but provides a backdoor to pup control by selecting exit on the shutdown window.

Both can be seen in action here:
