Shutdown Notifier

Shutdown Notifier
v0.1.0b

This Plugin generates 2 events
ShutdownNotifier.SystemShutdown
ShutdownNotifier.LogOff

There are 2 actions. one to block the logoff and the other to block the shutdown. those actions will only work with the matching event. It's a pretty simple plugin.

I found two problems when i tried the plugin (Win 10, build 1809):

• When the plugin is added and the macros automatically added, the Block Shutdown action has no default value for reason. Running that macro/action results in an error.

  Code: Select all

  Traceback (most recent call last) (0.5.0-rc6):
    File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\ActionBase.py", line 116, in CallWrapper
      return self(*args)
  TypeError: __call__() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)

• Removing or disabling the plugin throws an error:

sigh.... I know there was a 0.2 I cannot locate it on my system I did not know if i made the changes and did not change the version number.. so i guess I did not make the changes.. give me a few to update the code and post it again.

[kgschlosser]

OK i have uploaded an updated version of the plugin. I do not remember exactly what i did for a fix in version 0.2b so if someone happens to have that version of the plugin installed if they can attach it to a post that would be most helpful..

to export the plugin click on "Add Pluigin" then locate the plugin in the lest on the left.. right click the plugin and click on "export" it will ask you where you ant to save it. once you are back to the "Add Plugin" dialog simply cancel/close it.. the .egplugin file is going to be saved where you told the export to save it.. then attach it to a post.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated..

Again I have uploaded a modified version. I do not know if the modifications are the same as what i did last time.

im using eventghost 0.4.1.r1722 on Windows 10, not sure if I'm using this plug-in properly? Is it supposed to completely stop the shutdown or what? Because when i set it up and click shutdown it goes to the shutdown screen saying that eventghost is preventing shutdown is that what should be happening?.

What I'm trying to accomplish is that when i click start shutdown i want it to prevent the shutdown do some other things then continue the shutdown.
any help would be great.

thanks,

This is designed to block a shutdown or logoff. But it can be used in a manner that would suit you because it does generate a shutdown event. and in that event you can add the block shutdown to stall the shutdown. and after that put in place any actions you want to run and the last action would be the shutdown action from the System plugin.

Is there a way to manually clear the shutdown block after necessary actions are performed?

It appears only timeout clears the block.
