Re: shutdown menu item

You can't inline the script. The wiki is helping you make a shell script to
call from the menu.

You need to put the #!/bin/sh ... stuff in a file, make it executable, then
call that in your exec:

$ cat > ~/bin/my-shutdown.sh << EOF
#!/bin/sh
gdmflexiserver -a -c 'SET_LOGOUT_ACTION HALT'
kill -TERM $(xprop -root _BLACKBOX_PID | awk '{print $3}')
EOF
$ chmod +x ~/bin/my-shutdown.sh

Then [exec] (Shutdown) { ~/bin/my-shutdown.sh }

Cheers,
