Gracefully close applications on shutdown
How to automatically close an application on shutdown (graceful close, not kill)?
I try to call wmctrl -c "App" in powerbtn.sh, but it does not work. The same wmctrl command works perfectly when typed in terminal or called from a script without superuser rights.
Why does it not work in powerbtn.sh and how to fix it?
command-line shutdown wmctrl

A normal shutdown gracefully closes all processes anyway - that is, it calls SIGTERM on them, then waits for them to terminate - SIGTERM being the normal way of telling a process to close and allowing it to do any clean-up work necessary before actually terminating.
That is, you don't need to worry about doing this.
