Hello all,
If thats too much typing, you could always bash alias/bash script a command,
something like "kp" for "sudo shutdown 0." You could also put together an
interactive script, which I might do, not only for the RPi, but also for my
computer at home. Somethign triggered to "kp" again and does something like:
kp>
Which do you wish to do?
1. reboot
2. shutdown
1>
your Pi is now rebooting.
***or***
2>
How long until shutdown?
0>
Your Pi is now shutting down.
***or***

180>
Your Pi will shut down in 180 minutes.
(I don't know, maybe you want to have it record a show in an hour, that lasts an
hour and a half, and want a little extra for some reason? *shrugs*)
Also Mike, something you may or may not be aware of. The sudo halt command,
*doesn't* always work for a shutdown. I've found, along with quite a few others,
that halt only kills the system, but does not power down. That leaves your fans
running, and monitor light (not that the Pi has a monitor for us, right?)If
you're reaching
down to unplug it before pulling a card, that's good enough, but without being
able to see the lights, and power indicators, I'm not sure it completely powers
the Pi down.
Georgina, if you manage to macro out something, please share, as I'm sure that
I'm not the only one interested in this, and it's something that google and I
haven't made friends over.
Thanks all, and hope this helps.
Jason
