I don't know if a way right off to build that into shutdown, but you could just write a script to go around and kill whatever. Run it out of userspace. Then actually shut down after everything that has pending whatevers has closed out. I'm not too keen on the way this works either, FWIW. I see too many "Do you want to save?" dialogs flashing by if I just log out in the middle of something. I never have really thought about trying to come up with a better way. I just close anything I care about before I log out. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
