Sub_title: would like to improve		  
Hello everyone,

I would like to improve on my fluxbox shutdown gui.

I would like to have the option for each of my chooses to have a yes to continue or cancel if they forgot something and start all over.

How would I be able to do this?

while [ "$PSPEFD" != "" ];do
sleep 0.5
KCNT=`expr $KCNT + 1`
[ $KCNT -gt 60 ] && break #30 secs.
PSPEFD="`ps -C pup_event_frontend_d | grep 'pup_event_front' | grep -v 'defunct'`"
done
sleep 0.2

#if [ "$CURRENTWM" = "startxfce4" ];then
#CURRENTWM="xfce4-session"

kill -9 `pidof fluxbox`

Hey Oldyeller

Quote:
[...]yes to continue or cancel[...]

If you don't mind to use "No" instead of "Cancel" Wink , Xdialog would the simpliest way I can think about at the moment.
Add these two lines in the beginning of the "fluxexit" function:

Code:
fluxexit () {
Xdialog --title "Confirmation" --yesno "Are you sure you want to $1?" 5 40
[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && exit

$? return codes are 0=yes, 1=no, 255=window_closed

But, if you'd like to return to the main window when user presses "No", try this:

Code:
set -a #export all functions
MYNAME="$0"

fluxexit () {
Xdialog --title "Confirmation" --yesno "Are you sure you want to $1?" 5 40
[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && exec "$MYNAME"


exec "$MYNAME" will simply restart the script.

Greetings!

MYNAME="$0"

This is common practice but i think it should be
Code:
MYNAME=`readlink -e "$0"`

in case you have the script in a folder something like /usr/local/shutdown and link to it from somewhere in the PATH .
This is for the case you have several scripts in that directory and forget to cd into it .

Edit=I have done both they work just fine. will see which when I like the best and use it. Thanks again

Thanks this does the job, but could you give me an explanation of the script so I can better understand what it does.

Sure!

$1 is the parameter passed from, eg. <action>fluxexit restartwm &</action> to fluxexit function (in this case $1=restartwm).

5 40 are dimensions of the window (height and width respectively).
More info: Xdialog --help

[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && exec "$MYNAME"
Simply: if the return code from Xdialog window is not equal 0 then restart the script, else - continue.

MYNAME="$0" - $0 is the variable that holds the filename of the script.

Additonaly you can also "humanize" the confirmation questions by adding something like this:

Code:
set -a #export all functions
MYNAME=`readlink -e "$0"`

fluxexit () {
case "$1" in
  "poweroff" ) MESSAGE="turn off computer" ;;   
  "reboot" ) MESSAGE="reboot computer" ;;
  "restartwm" ) MESSAGE="restart window manager" ;;
  "exit" ) MESSAGE="exit to prompt";;
esac   

Xdialog --title "Confirmation" --yesno "Are you sure you want to $MESSAGE?" 5 50
[ "$?" -ne 0 ] && exec "$MYNAME"


BTW, Karl's suggestion makes that MYNAME variable will contain the full path to the actual script, not a path to a symlink (in case it's launched through a symlink, of course).

Greetings!
