You can substitute
-p true by
-p poweroff
in the syslinux.cfg MENU,
You can it use with memory sticks.
A problem is:
Not all external drives can spindown when the pc goes shutdown. It's common windows problem.
(For development: the package 'udisk..deb' should be added)
@fusi1939,
Thanks. The package udisks will be added in the next release of Clonezilla live.
Steven.
