Nice, but isn't this basically a duplication of the functionality in the Quit Applet by bownz?
@mikefreeman This Applet has slightly more functionality than Quit Applet...Does the quit Applet has Restart or Shutdown on single click...We have customized it for our systems and hoped to share it....:)
I think it would have been more practical to ask bownz to add "restart" rather than make the exact same applet with restart added.
is not the same applet bownz try it first
Please note that the commands are different and more efficient....It is not the same applet as Quit Applet...Please read the code before commenting.....All of the commands provide one click operations and the applet is not simply "restart" added to another applet... I request you to try both the applets before commenting....
The one click shut down and restart buttons are not the best. They could easily be clicked by accident, thus causing the computer to restart during important tasks. I recommend deciding which is better for the set user. This is a nice applet, I admit, this is not competition, so please don't compare Shelley's applet to my own. This applet has it's different functions. "Great minds think alike"
@bownz We use it for our development systems...some of the usesr may find it useful, as we do...In open source software there is no competition....The users can choose and adapt the software according to their needs...Bownz..thank you for your comment, buddy...
5 stars from me, i prefer it this way :) mostly cos the old way made logout/restart/shutdown take forever on my and some other peoples systems. see this thread http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=208&t=99229 . i dont mind the dialog popping up but, well i dont know, this shuts down my pc instantly, the other applet(s) means i have to wait more than 30 seconds before anything happens
Shelley, would you mind emailing me sometime? I love hearing input from other Developers, because I am new to this sort of thing. If so hit me up at bendloveless@gmail.com (I will not be able to reply for up to 8 hours)
billynick, My computer does not do that. I shall look into the issue, and try to fix it in my applet, WITH the popups. Maybe not THAT pop up, I might make my own popup. Thank you.
@bownz, the same lag happens if i use the logout/shutdown from the mint menu. it must be the code implemented into that dialog...not your applet i would think
Well my intent right now is to make a popup menu appear when I click that, and design the popup menu to us the command shutdown now, or restart now. I will fix that issue in my applet. Promise ;p
@Shelley, thanks for the info, as I do not have a permanent, functioning Cinnamon running right now to test it on. I'm on Mint 10 until at least 13 LTS comes out, and my VirtualBox install of Mint 12/Cinnamon is incredibly unstable (crashes Cinnamon constantly, and logout freezes up my whole system, even outside of VB). I did not mean to start a controversy, though! Wow, such excitement! :)
@bownz Sure...will mail you buddy when I get time...Bit busy with an upcoming project.. @billynick Thank you for trying the applet and for your comments.... @mikefreeman I have taken your Criticism with a positive frame of mind...since I was 100% confident about the efficiency of my applet...No problem :)
OK, bypassing the gtk popup does make this more than different than just adding restart, I also dislike confirmation dialogs probably as much as you so it's all good :o) Hope it's OK I add this to the Cinnamon Extras PPA next update.
@bimsebasse Thank you for trying it and for understanding that it is much more than adding a "restart" to an existing applet :)
Added to Cinnamon Extras PPA:

Actually use this applet every day, I is very useful. You could add small icons in each item, to make it easier to identify visually. Anyway very nice applet!.
Fantastic Applet. Shutdowns and restarts pretty fast. Five stars fro m me :)
i just noticed now that 'logout' is just as laggy as with other applets. but not using it very often so dont really care :)
Very useful Applet.
Thanks for exactly what I was looking for. All-In-One and no confirmation. :-)
Great extension Shelley I dislike the confirmation pop-up box. This extension fixes that for me. One request could you add a switch user to the list? Or can someone tell me how to add it? Thanks for the extension.
Exactly what I was looking for..Thank you..
Great job !!
Something like this should come stock with Cinnamon.
Nice applet, but unfortunately the shutdown and restart options do not work for me. I am using cinnamon on Fedora 17. I believe the issue is that by default fedora does not add users to the sudo list and give them permission to issue commands to terminate sessions without prompting for passwords.
I found the issue with Fedora. Turns out that the consolekit is removed from Fedora 17. yum install ConsoleKit ConsoleKit-x11 systemctl enable console-kit-daemon.service systemctl start console-kit-daemon.service Now the shutdown/restart buttons work like they should.
Shelley, great job! This will always have a place on my panel right next to the menu. Thanks.
This is a great job you've done but nothing is perfection on planet Earth ^^ I'm a french guy and the translation for the Screen Lock, Hibernate and Shutdown function doesn't work for me. It would be great if you add 2 other functions : - mdmflexiserver in order to change user without log out the current session - shutdown -t XX in order to shutdown after a timeout. Thanks.
Hi Shelley, In order to support l10n add the following statements after the section of constants: const Gettext = imports.gettext; const _ = Gettext.gettext; const UUID = 'ShutdownApplet@shelley'; Gettext.textdomain(UUID); Gettext.bindtextdomain(UUID, GLib.get_home_dir() +"/.local/share/locale");
thanks! both "hibernate" and "suspend" call the same command: dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Hibernate i think, "suspend" should rather use the parameter "org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend", shouldn't it? dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
I have a problem: if I click hibernate, it just suspends, but I can hibernate just fine with all other ways... do you have any idea what's not working?
Great applet! But as other users already stated, for distributions that don't use ConsoleKit any more like Fedora or Arch Linux, not all of the options are working. I'm using Arch and they even removed ConsoleKit from the repositories and strongly discourage to use it any more. So the correct solution is using systemd: it provides the commands "systemctl poweroff|suspend|hibernate|reboot". No need for ConsoleKit anymore.
Love this applet, thanks. It's the first one I set up. The one click feature is key for me. My menu hangs before appearing which makes getting to shutdown, or restart, a pain; that plus, less clicks to get on with it. Once again, I certainly appreciate your time and effort.
I think this could be improved with a switch user function too, is such a thing possible, I modified the applet.js to include a line for switch user but it just uses the command gdmflexiserver, I don't know how this would behave with MDM because I dont use it
Trying to use this with ubuntu 12.04 and cinnamon and the lock function is not working, although lock from the main menu is, as well as ctl alt l
