akash_rawal wrote:4. Shutting down puppy by power button

This one is pretty easy.
Just wrote a small shell script of just 5 lines:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
cat /proc/acpi/event |
while read line; do
	wmpoweroff
done

You may want to replace "wmpoweroff" with your favorite shutdown manager like PupShutdown.

Anyone knows how to enable hibernation?

blkid_name_generator() {
	#Gather blkid output and filter out required device
	LABEL=""
	eval "`blkid "/dev/$1" | cut --delimiter=" " -f 2- | sed -e 's/ /;/g'`"
	LABEL="${LABEL//;/ }"
	#Generate drive label
	if test "$LABEL" = ""; then ONEDRVLABEL="$@\n \n "; else ONEDRVLABEL="${LABEL}\n($@)\n "; fi
}

maybe it is better.

A desktop icon that links to /var/run/usbmount/ would provide the desktop interface for this.

Here is the replacement function:

Code: Select all

blkid_name_generator() {
	#Gather blkid output and filter out required device
	LABEL=""
	eval "`blkid "/dev/$1" | cut --delimiter=" " -f 2- | sed -e 's/ /;/g'`"
	LABEL="${LABEL//;/ }"
	#Generate drive label
	if test "$LABEL" = ""; then ONEDRVLABEL="$@\n \n "; else ONEDRVLABEL="${LABEL}\n($@)\n "; fi
}

Well, I am now planning to implement drive icons using gtkdialog instead of rox-filer. This should easily allow more features and same code could work for any DE.

I will include the features mentioned in this thread in the gtkdialog version.
