Title: Solved - Can Advmenu command Windows to shutdown on exit?
Post by: Ummon on May 21, 2009, 09:40:02 pm

Looking at the docs, I'm guessing yes, but I'm not sure what I'd put in there. ?

I asked somewheres else, and come to find out it's the 'misc_exit' feature. Default is 'normal' (quit). Change to 'shutdown' - ctrl_esc key is the key. Wonder if that's changeable?

if you're using the latest version (v2.5.0):

Code: [Select]


---- 5.7.3 idle_screensaver_preview ----
Selects the preview type to use in the screensaver. Like
the preview option.

idle_screensaver_preview none | exit | shutdown | play
| snap | flyers | cabinets | titles

Options:
    none - Shutdown the monitor using the VESA/PM services
        if available. Otherwise use a black image.
    EXIT - Exit from the application.
    SHUTDOWN - Shutdown the machine.
    snap, flyers, cabinets, titles - Start a mute slide show
        of the specified image type (default snap).
    play - Start a snap slide show using the animated
        snapshots and the game sounds. The static
        snapshots are ignored.


this version can exit/shutdown when idle.

Helpful for some, I suppose. Not something I'd likely ever need.

By the way, yes of course the key assigned is configurable. Sheesh. I need to look more diligently in the rc file. I did look through the docs, though, and found nothing.
