Hi, What is a good and clean way to shutdown the system from a windowmanager (in my case WindowMaker), and using xdm? I did add a menuitem containing "shutdown -p now", but then WM sometimes coredumps. So I get the impression that this method isn't the best way to do it. Just exiting the WM is possible, but then the system exits to the login screen, without the possibility of shutting down from there. So is there a clean way of shutting down from WM? Thanks and regards, Marco -- The Israelites were all waiting anxiously at the foot of the mountain, knowing that Moses had had a tough day negotiating with God over the Commandments. Finally a tired Moses came into sight. "I've got some good news and some bad news, folks," he said. "The good news is that I got Him down to ten. The bad news is that adultery's still in."
