Hi,
I have worked on this same issue for several years and finally have an
answer that works.
Create a command line application with the following command line
echo 0pen%TC | sudo -S shutdown -P -h 18:00 Scheduled 6:00 pm shutdown
Set it to Autostart. Assoicate the application with the thinclient.
Of course you will change the shutdown time to whatever time would like.
Some history.
Shutdown must be executed by an administrator of the system. That is why
the sudo is needed.
In the past, while I could shut down the thinclient using this command (on
OTC 0.4.5), the NIC was not correctly conditioned on most of my clients for
WOL (wake-on-LAN) to work. In fact for some of them, I had to pull the
power cord in order to start up successfully. People on this list pointed
me to the ethtool which did allow the NIC to be correctly conditioned. At
this point, I got stuck because while I could figure out the correct
ethtool command line, I couldn't get it executed.
In 0.4.5, more than one autostart (sudo?) command line application caused
all of them to fail. (I have not tried this on OTC 1.0) I tried various
combinations of multiple commands in one line but couldn't get it to work.
I had a few other options to try but never got around to them.
With OTC 1.0, it correctly conditions all my NICs - even the ones that I
used to have to pull the power cord on, so I only need the single autostart
application to shut down the client. I then have a scheduled task on a
windows server that issues the WOL in the morning.
It would be nice if autoshutdown was a configurable item for a client but I
am happy with this solution for now.
