Hello Sergei,

my who-based test fails sometimes, it gives me users without running
processes (after closing KDE...). Now I'm using ps after who...
Thanks for the hint to use 'cut' :)

# are there logins?
# (the output of who maybe wrong, logins without processes... :)
WHO_USERS=`who | cut -d' ' -f1 | sort -u`
PS_USERS=`ps -Ao user | sort -u | grep -v USER`
USERS=""
for user in $WHO_USERS
do
  if test `echo $PS_USERS | grep $user | wc -w` -gt 0
  then
     USERS="$USERS $user"
  fi
done
COUNT=`echo $USERS | wc -w`

# shutdown?
if test $COUNT -gt 0
then
   echo "there are active users:$USERS" >> $LOGFILE
else
   echo "shutdown (halt -p)" >> $LOGFILE
   halt -p
fi

Ok, that is an alternative. A good one, because of running recordings...
But maybe I feel better to have always a correct wakeup timer in BIOS?
I could mix both... (just thinking)

That's a very smart idea! This way the power button would be kids-safe ;)
Hmm, using ACPI and one of your reboot solutions to power off my A7V133
by APM...

Thank you again,

...looking for time ;)
