That should be done much earlier. I have this seen several years ago, in Windows, not in kde, so I can not even say if it is possible. It is the kind of thing that when you want to log out tells applications, and these tell you that there are unsaved files and whether you want to save them, or abort log out. The applications might block logout. I assumed the logout process sent a terminate command of some sort to running apps so they could close down cleanly.
Yes. And applications can respond that the system must not close now, I think, to abort. I'm going from memory, I could be wrong. Linux desktops must have a similar mechanism. Once found, it is a matter of writing a specific application that runs a script that instant, and waits. That's assuming that the sequence can wait for ever: maybe if there is no response for some time, the application is simply killed.
A comment: your software is adding "[Bulk]" each time to the subject line:
Subject: Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Re: [opensuse-factory] Messages from scripts
I had to edit it and remove some. thanks. I've no idea whats causing that. i'm sending using kmail and its a yahoo.co.uk account. I've just removed it from the subject of this email so i wonder how it will appear in the list.
This time it is not there. It could be your mail account server. :-? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
