Ken, The pulldown in FV simply fires of the /usr/fox/system32/foxshutdown command. The syntax of foxshutdown appears to be: foxshutdown restart time ["message"] where: restart = 0 (shutdown) or 1 (restart) time = seconds before shutdown message = anything you want to say on the pop-up So, to shutdown in 5 seconds it would be: foxshutdown 0 5 "Shutting down" and to restart in 17 seconds would be: foxshutdown 1 17 "Restarting" You could build a shortcut on the desktop with these commands if you wish, but we normally use the pulldown because we can restrict access to this function to specified Environments. I have had to use this in those rare instances where FV has died and I need to reboot the AW70 as elegantly as possible (i.e. not using Windows restart, or worse, the power switch!)
