Description:
GEksit (formerly StopIt) is a GUI for logging out, rebooting and shutting down the computer. It is written in python, and it is still in early stage of development. In future versions it will contain better configuring possibilities. It was done for my own purposes, but i decided to release it to everyone.
GEksit comes from Gnome Exit and also from finnish word "keksit", what means "cookies".
::::::::
Depencies:
Python (2.x, maybe 2.6 =<, or maybe even 3.x will work. My version is 2.6)
PyQt4 (python extension)
xterm (later versions will no longer depend on this)
pm-utils (perhaps, i don't know. The "suspend.sh" and the "hibernate.sh" scripts probably need this)
Gnome (i know, its sad :( Will be fixed in the next version)
::::::::
Installation and usage:
No installation required, just unpack the tar.gz, and execute the file "stopit" by double-clicking it and selecting "Run", or running these commands from the terminal:
cd [directory where this file is]
./stopit-X.X
::::::::
Future versions:
Future versions will provide better configuring possibilities, more languanges, and much more... ;)
The plan for the next version (0.8):
-Get the Finnish languange possibility back
-Possibility to change the shutdown, reboot, lock screen, and log out commands. (Not suspend or hibernate as they are in their own scripts)
-Remove the need of xterm.
-No longer need the use of gnome.
