1. What is wmShutdown?
wmShutdown is a Window Maker dock application that allows you to shutdown or reboot your machine just by clickig a button on your desktop.
It's useful just for desktop machines, so there's no need to keep typing shutdown now -h every time you have to go away for some reason.
I'd be thankful for any fixes or comments about it.
2. Security issues
As we have to shutdown a machine as a single user, there are some trick that must be remembered here.
-There are two binaries:
wmshutdown: The dock itself, because GTK apps can't be suid
wmshutdown-run: suid program called by wmShutdown just to call /sbin/shutdown
As this was created for workstations, probably there's not much to be afraid.
3. Install/Uninstall
tar -zxvf wmshutdown-1.0.tar.gz
cd wmshutdown-1.0
./configure
make
make install [as root]
4. License
wmShutdown is under GPL.
