What would be the point?  If it shutdown anyway you would gain nothing, and if the user interrupted the shutdown then everything would have to be powered up again.

I like this idea too - as in I would find, and have found situations where this could be helpful. The more configurable the better huh? Unless it would cost a whole bunch in code and fiddliness and cause problems elsewhere

What is the justification for making it configurable?

Zardoz:
Justification; in this case - none I guess. I just meant that as a general precept. Although now that you mention, it would be cool if one could set an 'interrupt' window in seconds or some such. To answer your question: No justification. Just a notion.

soap:
I'm not against it - but I, personally, can not think of a reason to make the window configurable.  I'm not sure what usability such an option adds to the window.
