Seemingly simple question about SLiM...
The SLiM website totes that SLiM supports shutdown, reboot, and optional suspend features, and I see that /etc/slim.conf has settings for the commands, but I can't figure how to use them.
I've tried a bunch of different key combinations, etc, but I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Are these meant to executed from the login screen? If not, how else would they be used?

Re: Seemingly simple question about SLiM...
Wow, how simple is that? Even suspend works great...
I've searched all over the net trying to find that info, but of course as soon as you posted the solution, I realized there's probably a man page for slim. Thanks!
