Cancel a shutdown?

[nodoubts2k]

Is there a way to cancel a shutdown? My dog keeps pressing the power button on the front of the computer :frown:

Smack the dog every time he does it... he'll learn.

Depress the dog's face with said object every time offense occurs. It'll learn by the 2nd time or it'll be unconscious. Either way, you win.


Why don't you just put something over the power button or OMG put the dog in another room...

One of these days I'm going to modify my case and put in one of those switches with a cover like they have in fighter jets for the power button. I'm sick of hitting it with my shoe.

 

[psydancerqt]

that's funny

control panel> power options, you can customize what happens when the button is pressed.

Having been on the giving and receiving ends, I can say with painful certainty that I understand. :Q

This is right. you can set it to not shutdown unless the button is depressed for more than 3 seconds.

Exactly, tell the computer to ignore the power button

I love being able to just kick my case, and if my aim is good it turns on!

No lousy 'bending over' for me!

<start><run>"shutdown -a"

I'd still like to know what "maglite" refers to, so much that I'm going to bring this thread back from page whatever.
