Subject description: Replacing shutdown on the menu |
|
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.
Quote: | How would one replace Shutdown in the Lucid 511 menu with PupShutdown? |
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.
Quote: | Also, what backup program is run by the backup button? |
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

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

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.

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.
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:
