PupsaveConfig-2.2.5
Hi Shinobar,
I am using Slacko 5.6 as a "live" distro without any savefile and have a question about the pupsaveconfig shutdown process:
When I shut down I see the pupsave dialog and the countdown timer showing 239, 238, 237 seconds etc. If I do not take any action then pupsaveconfig will shut down the computer after 240 seconds WITHOUT SAVING A SESSION - which is good for me. However, what happens if I have several partitions mounted and programmes running - will pupsaveconfig do a "tidy and safe' shutdown at the end of the 240 second countdown?
Or will it just do a busybox poweroff without any tidy up?

Pupsaveconfig : you are supposed needing a pupsave
Pupsaveconfig : you are supposed needing a pupsave. Pupsaveconfig send a message after suhtdown "do you want to save session Y/N ",and Puppy user can answer 'no' each time. But if you don't have pupsave, you must change code to never (0) in yr PUPMODE settings.
Re: Pupsaveconfig : you are supposed needing a pupsave
But what happens if the user leaves the computer and the "Y/N" dialog sits on screen for the whole 240 second countdown? Does it do a normal shutdown (unmounting filesystems and partitions in a tidy fashion) or does it just shutdown in a hurry? (I think the timeout shutdown should call a tidy shutdown script, not just drop the system instantly or else data and partitions may be at risk - depending on what work the user was doing).Pelo wrote:"do you want to save session Y/N ",and Puppy user can answer 'no' each time.
shutdown with timeout
Both mine and Barry's(shutdownconfig) does normal shutdown without saving session at timeout.greengeek wrote:will pupsaveconfig do a "tidy and safe' shutdown at the end of the 240 second countdown?

conflict between pupsaveconfig and LXDE-shutdown
conflict between pupsaveconfig and LXDE-shutdown. I am now used to pupsaveconfig and i install it in my puppies if not yet installed as default.
However pupsaveconfig prevents shutdown with LXDE_shutdown gui. Then i must use CTRL alt +backspace instead of the pretty guy of LXDE.
Do you know how i can marry them together, i.e. shutdown with LXDE and then still having the question 'save yes/no" in next step ?

Frugal install with save file, running pupsaveconfig and clicking ok deletes most of pupsave.conf. Pupsave.conf is sometimes handy for variables in scripts, is there a way to stop this?

But ASRI explains in french how to use it
Pupsavconfig translated French by ASRI, manager of Puppy ASRI Edu for schools, teachers and Pupils
Pet provided, ASRI explains in french how to use it, what pupsaveconfig does, and when you cannot use it
Do french teachers speak English ? Usually they do, but Linux needs some further explanations, not learnt at school.
Personaly, 2.2.2 remains the version in my tool case.
