Shutdown time controlled
Hello guys,
so far I shutdown my machine via shutdown -h +time when I want to terminate it time controlled. But often there are still some programs running like firefox. Is there any program-friendly method to shutdown?
shutdown -h kills all apps instantly without terminating them correctly.
Best regards

Re: Shutdown time controlled
From the man page,
shutdown brings the system down in a secure way. All logged-in
users are notified that the system is going down, and login(1) is
blocked. It is possible to shut the system down immediately or
after a specified delay. All processes are first notified that
the system is going down by the signal SIGTERM. This gives pro‐
grams like vi(1) the time to save the file being edited, mail and
news processing programs a chance to exit cleanly, etc

Re: Shutdown time controlled
Interesting, but why does Firefox recommend to recover my last session when I launch it after reboot?
Clean would be if it opens without any message, isn't it?

Re: Shutdown time controlled
@op - firefox knows that it was exited in a fashion inconsistent with you closing it and it attempts to reload your prev. session. Nice feature I think. I believe you can disable it within FF.
