this doesn't change anything; I tried this multiple times with different 
values (the system isn't waiting even 20 seconds before reboot/poweroff)

my current workaround is to run it as a task with the "planned tasks" (I 
only know the german translation "Geplante Tasks", so I assume it is the 
correct name in the english version). The only problem there was that it 
only wanted to run, if I inserted a small wait period before really 
starting the colinux daemon. I am now doing this with a simple batch 
script. I think this has to have something to do with the service 
handler, but I personally have no clue about it.
