Hi, Not really sure what it is you are after but kshutdown might be what you are looking for. If you have the repositories setup correctly then all you need to do is a

Code:

urpmi kshutdown

as root of course.. then run the proggie & see if its for you..

Sure.. for this I also have startup scripts (starting LinNeighborhood etc..) I have put all the files into my home folder

Code:

/home/user1/.kde/Autostart

This will initiate the files on KDE startup..
