Thanks WT.WinterTroubles wrote:Not exactly answering your question, but.. if you right click the panel and find 'add new items' ( or go to panel settings in the menu and click the 'add item' button on the items tab) you can add 'action buttons', that would allow you to have any or all of the following buttons in the panel.. Lock screen, switch user, suspend, hibernate, shut down, restart, log out and 'log out...' (which takes you to a window offering several of the choices).
Personally I find having action buttons in the panel even simpler than a button in the menu.
Hope this is of interest

It does work. And if the only thing [X]'ed is 'Shut Down', then it takes up very little 'Panel' space.

Hi All,
I'm looking for a terminal command that will directly and immediately perform a shutdown. Or, as a fine alternative, is there a way to compel '/usr/bin/xfce4-session-logout' to shutdown -- Note that I already tried '/usr/bin/xfce4-session-logout --logout'.
(If such a shutdown command can be combined with a command to close all applications prior to shutdown, I'd really like that!)
Background:
When I use the "G"-looking button in the lower-right of the 'Whisker Menu', after a pause, a different-looking sorta-"desktop" (slide show of nature scenes) appears and a "Login" dialog is displayed in which I'm prompted for my username. In order to shut down I have to then click an upside-down "Q"-looking thingy in the upper-right of the sorta-"desktop" and choose "Shutdown".
Now, in the 'Commands' section of the 'Behavior' tab of the 'Whisker Menu' (that is: 'Panel' > 'Items' tab > 'Whisker Menu' > [icon showing what appears to be a stack of 3 exclamation marks lying down] > 'Behavior' tab > 'Commands' section > ) there is found a '[X] Log Out' selection. It currently points to '/usr/bin/xfce4-session-logout'. I'd like it to point to some command that performs shutdown directly.
Is there such a direct shutdown command?
Thank You.
