I'm not even sure if there is a standard way of doing so. Actually, we could create a new package and set it as "recommends" or "suggests" on the x2goclient / x2gothinclient package. The script we use to shutdown the system in the thinclient environment is rather simple: The poweroff can be performed faster with the first sequence, but should not be done that way when there are rw-mounted filesystems under /dev, that's what the if/else is for. In its current form, the script has a hardcoded user homedirectory of /home/user/, but expanding that to check a list of users or all homedirs under /home should not be hard. However, on systems where /home/ is on a persistent storage device and not a ramdisk (as in the thinclient environment), the .halt file needs to be deleted before executing the shutdown. That's currently missing. -Stefan -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243
