pyotr,

What I think you might want to do is have a "Good Night"
program which calls the programs in your "shutdown" directory.

I'm not at all sure what a "good night" program is. Somehow I get the idea
that its something I should manually start. I already have that. Several
programs and scripts that I can fire off by a single double-click. I really
like to automate that double-click though. Its too easy to forget to do it

Just compare it to making backups - those work best when they are automated.

To me, that seems simpler.

Not really. In my case its a bit more work upfront, but after that I can
forget all about it.


Though the question was more about if there might be problems with using a
"logoff script" like that (including, but not only, running all programs in
a folder), or, more important, if such an opposite to the "startup folder"
is perhaps already available as a build in.
