Solved Shutdown desktop icon

[noelw]

Morning all. My next quest is to have a desktop shutdown icon with a 15 or 20 second delay. It is more for my wife rather than me. You see she plays games of an evening and the instant shutdown leaves he in a dark room. I am able to have the icon but i am unable to have the delay. Thanks.

Have a look at Qshutdown .....you will find it in Software Manager

If it works for you...good !

If it does not...uninstall it.

If it does work, just go to the menu and find it there.....right click on the Qshutdown name and select 'Add to Desktop'.

It's affirmative in the Software Manager-

I got around this a few years ago by making a bash script, and then making a desktop icon for the bash script.

It was basically a sleep, followed by a shutdown.
