How to disable Save prompt when shuttingdown multisession cd

#1 Post by goodpuppy »

I have Puppy 4.2.1.

I save all the config on the CD.

There's already a save icon on the desktop so I think the prompt is redundant.

I would like to disable the save prompt (save to the multisession cd I booted with) when shutting down / rebooting.

This prompt is preventing me from remotely shutting down / rebooting (using vnc/ssh) PuppyLinux.

An alternate solution could also be to add a check-box "No Save" to just not prompt for one time in the Shutdown menu instead of completely disable the prompt.

Any idea how to do this?

In the "Save Session" tab of the "Puppy Event Manager", there's only the "save interval" that can be set.

From the text there, it seems I have to set some PUPMODE to 5 or 0 so there's no save (seems like no save icon either on the desktop).

So,
1. How do I set the PUPMODE to 5 or 0?
2. If the save icon on the desktop disappear, how to I execute the save to CD manually?

Will it work if I change the PUPMODE value in /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE directly?
