How-to specify power button to do a 'shutdown -h now' instead of graphical shutdown menu?












11















I would like to specify that when I press the power button in my laptop, a 'shutdown -h now' command is sent, instead of bringing up the graphical shutdown menu. How can I do that on Ubuntu 11.10?

That's simple enough. When you press the power button a ACPI event triggers the script at /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh.



You can edit that to just run shutdown -h now as the first thing so it looks like:



#!/bin/sh

# /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh

# Initiates a shutdown when the power putton has been

# pressed.



/sbin/shutdown -h now "Power button pressed"

exit 0



# leave the old code below (in case you want to revert!)

2 I'm trying to set the .DisplayMember property of a ComboBox in C#, but I want to bind it to multiple columns in the .DataSouce .

Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?

Image
2 Since I am not eligible for any Railcard, the only available discount/bonus scheme is Nectar Card for me. GWR, SWR, LNER and Virgin Trains allow to collect Nectar points and I have already linked a card to my GWR account. A friend suggested me to use Trainline App, because it can search for bus tickets either. I had a look at the application, but could not see any option for Nectar.
