Need a script that shuts Puppy down right after booting

[madabout]

Hey Guys,

Im trying to create a shutdown script that will automatically do the same thing as when i click "Start" > Shutdown, I find that when i enter the shutdown command in rc.local it does nothing, and when I enter "shutdown" in the console it brings up the shutdown menu.

I need this to be automated, so when the computer boots up, it shuts down once its fully loaded the desktop, "dont ask why" Its actually booting off a USB flash drive, so normaly when i click the shutdown button, it writes the pup_save.2fs file to the local HDD as its shutting down to automatically save the changes.

I still need this to happen so if anyone can help me, that would be great.

Ohhh and im running version 4.2.1

Cheers.

wmpoweroff is the script normally called to turn the machine off it that helps

"dont ask why"

but if you take the trouble to explain why, you certainly have a much better chance of getting a useful response

I'm not using your version.

I suggest looking at /sbin/poweroff and see what commands it sends

If you want it to poweroff before xwin starts maybe replace the /etc/profile exec xwin with exec /sbin/poweroff or the commands it contains.
