- I don't know how to change the default on the shutdown notice, but
- you can do a fast Openwindows exit by putting
- "Quick Exit" POSTSCRIPT shutdownserver
- in your olvwm or olwm menu file under OpenWindows 2 or 3.
-
- This will give a very fast exit indeed, and is not particularly graceful.
- NeWS programs won't get a chance to save anything, so if you use Framemaker,
- you probably need to save all work first... For this reason, I am reluctant
- to add this idea to the FAQ.
