    Need help with Rapidshare

    I'm running Ubuntu 9.10. I use Rapidshare a lot to download files and in Windows it allows you to select shutdown, hibernate, standby, etc when all the files have finished downloading. When I use it in Linux, I get "System command "shutdown" is not supported or defined on this system. Check you settings in the file "syscmd.properties". The settings in the syscmd.properties file are listed below. Does anyone know how to configure this to work in Ubuntu? Thanks.


    System shutdown commands

    # It's highly recommended to insert sleep pause (eg. 2 seconds) before executing this type of command.

    # Application DOESN'T WAIT for a result code.





    #

    system shutdown - poweroff - 'sudo poweroff'

    #



    #shutdown=



    #

    # system reboot - 'sudo reboot'

    #



    #reboot=



    #

    system hibernate - suspend to disk

    #



    #hibernate=



    #

    # system standby - suspend to RAM

    #



    #standby=

    Well, never used this before, but it seems fairly straightforward. Usual terminal shutdown command would either be
    Code:
    sudo halt
    or
    Code:
    sudo shutdown -h now
    Either should work. And by suggestion, you might want to do it like
    Code:
    (sleep 2 && sudo halt)

    I should of mentioned that I'm using a program called FreeRapid to download the files from Rapidshare and other file hosting sites. It's within that program that the "syscmd.properties" file exits. The auto shutdown, hibernate, etc. function that activates when all the files have downloaded works fine in Windows, but I get the error message in Linux. Is there a settings change I can make to have it work like in Windows?
