Default How to add a "Shutdown" folder (the opposite of the "startup"folder) ?

JJ,

Keep in mind that Shutdown is not same as Log-off, or vice versa.


I know. I've been fighting with myself about what I should name the new
directory : "shutdown" or "OnLogoff". The first matches the "startup" one
better*, the second is /way/ closer to the truth.

*if you have a good, opposite name to "startup" than please do mention it.


The opposite of "start" is "end". So it seems that one of "endup" or
"enddown" are to be considered and of course the ever popular
"startdown". In truth, I don't like any of these.

In my case its a bit moot though as I never logoff but /always/ power the
machine down.

Or... use the Fast User Switching to logon another user. Thus triggers
the Logon scripts without triggering Logoff script for any user. Logoff
scripts will be triggered only when a user actually logs off.
