RE: howto linux

Someone else might have a better idea, but how about calling a small
script instead which would launch advmenu then conditionally poweroff or
exit based on the output...something like [not tested or complete]:

	#!/usr/bin/perl

	exec('poweroff') unless ( `advmenu 2>&1` =~ /foobar/i );

	# note: those are back-angled single quotes around advmenu,
	# the ones on the key with the tilde (~)...the ones around
	# poweroff meanwhile are straight single quotes.


The "foobar" in the regexp would need to be changed to something that
would actually match on an error and only an error...Perl's probably
overkill too, but I'm kinda a one-trick pony in Linux scripting.

 but if theres an error. eg "can't load svgalib" the pc would just trun
off.
