Catch the idle shutdown

<< < (6/6)

JdGordon:
beeping once at the start of the shutdown countdown could be useful, but then if you are close enough to hear it and actully do something about it, you're probably close enough to see the backlight come back on.

:-( this seems to  be true (certainly for this very rusty programmer) I'm not going to give up but it is rather bigger than I thought it might be.

I had 2 scenarios in mind:
1) Pause and put device in the pocket without taking headphones on. Very short, not too laud beep 20 sec before every 5 sec. Longer beep 5 sec before shutdown.
2) Pause, take off headphones. Flashing (preferred over constant on) backlight. 0.5-1.0s every 3-5 sec
