loginwindow PowerOffDisabled power off power down
Q: I set the PowerOffDisabled default of loginwindow to Yes to disable to
the power key, but it doesn't seem to work When I hit the Power key, the
Workspace Manager still gives me the power-off alert, and the machine will
still power down if I confirm.
A: You need to change the default value of PowerOffDisabled for root, not
yourself. Note that with this done, you will still get the power-off
alert from WSM, and if you confirm, you will still be logged off. But,
the machine won't power down; you'll instead find yourself
at the login window.
Q: Assuming I get PowerOffDisabled working, how do I power down the machine?
A: The PowerOffDisabled default simply changes what the loginwindow does when
the user tries to power down the machine by hitting the power key when
either the login window or WSM is up. At other times, like when you are in
the console or at the NeXT prompt, you can still use the power key to
turn the machine off.
