Hi all, I usually get a sleep while watching some movie or something, leaving my computer on.
I sometimes execute a sudo shutdown etc....
Is there a more friendly way? like a button? so that my wife may do it? (not trying to be a chauvinistic pig) but I want her to do it some times...
:-)

By default the user switcher lets you do that... alternatively, it
should be available under "System > Shut Down" is you removed the user
switcher from your panel.
Alternatively, you can just add a shutdown button (Right click on panel
> Add to panel | Search for "shut down")
Hope that helps

Shutdown Timeout
Thanks, it was more about configuring the TIME it will take to shutdown, lets say 2 hours, than the shutdown itself.
Nevertheless If i were to change it from system settings it will remain the same, until I change it again.
I was looking for a more dynamic app. Kind of like a shutdown button, with a popup and a field to specify the time, or the timeout period.
It will be awesome to program it and start doing something on ubuntu.
