Title: RPI 2 shutdown button script ?!
Post by: Maouu on February 12, 2016, 10:19:37 AM

Hello,

I would like to know if anyone had a script to turn off the RPI properly when pressing a button ..? I tested a few script available on the internet but the RPI launches the script extinguishing procedure suddenly without me pressing the button :(
I'm going crazy !!

Or maybe it is possible to stop the raspberry at the same time I leave attract mode ?! I don't know how :s

Thanks you very much.

In attract mode settings you can add an exit command, like "sudo shutdown –h", to be executed every time you exit AM through the exit confirmation dialog.

No, they are talking about two different things: 1) shutting down the Pi and 2) changing the words on the screen when choosing to exit attractmode.

To shutdown the Pi when exiting attractmode do this: Configure-->General-->Exit command = sudo poweroff

To change the wording that you see when you are exiting attractmode then change this in the proper language file:

Code: [Select]

Exit Attract-Mode?;Shutdown Attract-Mode?
You can use any wording that you would like in place of "Shutdown Attract-Mode?".
