Hi,

What do you guys think of an option to automatically shut down (windoze) when the upload has finished? It often occured to me (guess I'm not the only one...) that I had to leave the house while gallery remote still was uploading...

With my (let's call it) limited knowledge in Java I think that the function wouldn't be too difficult to implement :lol:

Comments?

Cheers,

Nick

This is in the plan... but with a very low priority. Besides, this is very hard to do from Java, or at least I wouldn't know how to do it in a cross-platform way.

well, as you already know, I don't know anything in Java, so I've been asking around in Forums a little bit.

As they are deleting forum messages after a certain time, I'll post and translate the answers here:

this is what aaa3 wrote:

Quote:
RunTime.getRuntime().exec("command");

to shut down Windows "command" should f.e. read:
rundll32.exe user,exitwindows

Quote:
public class ShutDown {
ShutDown() {
String[] win98Befehl = {"rundll32", "user,exitwindows", "exec"};
String[] winXPBefehl = {"shutdown", "-s", "-t", " 01"};

try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(win98Befehl);
System.exit(0);
}
catch(java.io.IOException io) {
io.printStackTrace();
}
}

public static void main(String args[]){
new ShutDown();
}
}

I found the shut-down command for winXP in the Internet too (cf.: code) couldn't test it though (no WinXP...). The win98-comand should hopefully work under win98SE and winme.
In Linux there is something like halt or shutdown -fh now.

I hope this helps a little bit. Many thanks to aaa3

I thought, one (ie you;-) could release the shut-down option for some of the operating systems; I guess, it should be possible to hide the option if the os isn't compatible?

thanks again

Nick

Thanks Nick. I'll add this option to the upload progress dialog in 1.2.

Tracking this in this task.
