How To Shut Down The Pandora At The Log In Screen?

[dgame]

Is there a way to shut down the Pandora at the log in screen?

When I shut it down while charging it is annoying to have to log back in to shut it down again.

Thanks!

How do you shut it down while charging? The thing always turns on for me regardless...

You can't. (I think dgame means that he accidentally leaves it on charge when shutting down).

If you hold R when it restarts/powers on, you can choose "power off" from the menu
That's the only point you can shutdown at before you're logged in, I think.

Or you use my modification and press F11 once for rebooting and twice within 2 seconds for halting the Pandora:

Found in this thread.

The situation I am referring to is when you shutdown before unplugging the charger.
Once you unplug it you would then have to login to be able shutdown.

Using information form the Lomaxx Ssss thread I ended up editing /etc/slim.conf to allow F11 to shutdown at the login screen.

/etc/slim.conf

# Executed when pressing F11 (requires imagemagick)
#screenshot_cmd      import -window root /slim.png
screenshot_cmd      /sbin/shutdown -h now

Thanks everyone!
