RE: shutdown command

I mean KDE command, which will run KMenu->Logout->Turn off computer :) 'shutdown' brings the system down even if there is no DE running. I tried

Source code

1
dcop kdesktop KDesktopIface logoutWithoutConfirmation


but it only restarts KDE ... Any ideas ?

DCOP probably (and hopefully) doesn't allow that. This way any KDE application could shut down your computer. I don't know how about you, but I'd be angry if something like that happened to me.

Hmm ... But programs can still call something like

Source code

1
2
3
KProcess pr;
pr << "shutdown" << "-h" << "now";
pr.start(KProcess::Block);


So, it doesn't make sense what to call - DCOP method or 'shutdown' :)

OK, as I understood, I cann't do what I want :( Thanks.

Yes, but they (the user that runs such a program) have to be allowed by the sysadmin to do that, but KDE probably does that as root or something like that and if you used dcop, it would probably execute with kwin owner's rights or even as root (again) so it would (again probably) be unstoppable.

Or use different values instead of 0 0 0 :)
