Shutdown plugin

[xtoph]

I would like to manually set my machine to standby-mode. Probably the shutdown plugin is the most suitable place for this functionality.

im pretty sure the code is in the latest source for this, if i remember it has the options
hibernation
standby
restart
shutdown
logoff (not sure about this one, but i think there are 5 options).

when i updated it, i didnt see the need for any of the other options. but if anyone wants to extend it, they easily can.

In the meantime I have solved this by creating a custom task, which calls Cygwin's "shutdown.exe -p now". That does the job perfectly for me.

Does this plugin put up the message if it detects that XP is shutting down via the START menu? I want it to stop me from turning off the machine (via warning) if a recording is imminent. This should be pretty easy to implement assuming the main application is setup to grab the shutdown message coming from Windows.

no it doesnt.

What you could do, in a quick-and-dirty approach, is to create a batch file that, prior to shutting down the machine, checks the recording status. Someone here developed a nice little tool, that should give you the information you want.
