Catch the idle shutdown

<< < (4/6) > >>

oayz:
Beep on countdown?
Flash backlight on countdown?

Llorean:
Backlight should probably come on (since it does during the last phase of shutdown anyway, I think), but it probably shouldn't beep. Odds are good if you've paused it, it's because you wanted it quiet, and it's not a significant hassle to turn it back on anyway.

Zardoz:
Flashes for a second every five??

Llorean:
Do you mean "The backlight should flash every five seconds before shutdown?"

Please, try to type out whole thoughts, and don't leave out things that make it unclear exactly what you're saying.

If the warning period were short (which is really only reasonable, since as a user you know you've set the idle time anyway, and if you're not paying attention odds are you're still busy) this wouldn't make much sense.

AlexP:
I don't see any sense in complicating matters - the backlight turns on with a splash saying "Shutting down in x seconds.  Press any key to abort."  If you press a key, it aborts.  If you don't, it shuts down.
