This is a customizable shutdown object. Simply double-click the icon to shut down your system. A variety of interesting options are available. You can also shut down from the command line.

Installation

1) Place SHUTDOWN.DLL in a path that is included in LIBPATH. (The current directory '.' is invalid.)
2) Launch SHUTINST.EXE.

Startup

Double-click the shutdown object. Or, launch SHUTDOWN.CMD from the OS/2 command line.

Customization

You can customize the shutdown object's settings panel.

1) Right-click the shutdown object to display the pop-up.

2) Click the right arrow next to "Open."

3) Click the "Settings" menu.

Three menus will appear: "Options," "Execute," and "General."

On the 'Options' page,

i) Confirmation Button
When checked, you will be asked whether you want to shut down. Click the "lock" symbol to shut down, or the "hand" symbol to cancel the shutdown.

ii) Suppress Closing Dialogs
When checked, this option suppresses the confirmation message for each command prompt.

iii) Japanese Goodbye Music
When checked, the "Hotaru no Hikari" melody will play upon shutdown.

iv) Show Playing Kitten
When checked, a kitten will run around during shutdown. This is the same image as the "Cat and Mouse" game in the Games folder.

On the 'Execute' page, you can specify a program to run before shutdown begins.

The 'General' page inherits from the WPObject class.

These options are saved when you close the Settings window.

I hope you will enjoy it!
