| If [[dcore:suspending|suspending to RAM or disk]] works then one may want to make it easily available through a panel button.

| First, create the directory '~/.local/share/pixmaps/' and download a [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/_media/dcore:exittc_green.png|green]] and [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/_media/dcore:exittc_green.png|red]] variant of the original blue icon file for the exit button into it. | First, create the directory '~/.local/share/pixmaps/' and download a [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/_media/dcore:exittc_green.png|green]] and [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/_media/dcore:exittc_red.png|red]] variant of the original blue icon file for the exit button into it. |
| |
| Then create two files ''~/.local/share/applications/pm-{suspend,hibernate}.desktop'' with the following content, respectively. Adapt the path if a different user name applies. If applicable, one may want to use ''pm-suspend-hybrid'' instead of simple ''pm-suspend''. | Then create two files ''~/.local/share/applications/pm-{suspend,hibernate}.desktop'' with the following content, respectively.

| LXPanel should automatically recognize the changes and show the new menu entries. If not so, then ''lxpanelctl restart'' will force the panel to re-read its configuration files. | LXPanel should automatically recognize the changes and show the new menu entries.

| | Afterwards, it is a trivial task of adding an application starter to the LXPanel items with these menu entries. |

| | ==== LXPanel button for quick shutdown with automatic backup ==== |
| | |
| | In the same light, one may want to creat a blue exit button in the panel that performs a backup of 'mydata.tgz' and shuts the machine down. |
| | |
| | First, create an //executable// file '~/.local/bin/backup-exittc.sh' with the following content: |
| | <code> |
| | #!/bin/sh |
| | filetool.sh -b |
| | exitcheck.sh shutdown |
| | </code> |
| | |
| | Then create a menu entry via '~/.local/share/applications/backup-exittc.desktop', again adapting the path to the home folder if applicable. |
| | <code> |
| | [Desktop Entry] |
| | Name=Exit w/ Backup |
| | Exec=/home/tc/.local/bin/backup-exittc.sh |
| | Icon=/usr/local/share/pixmaps/exittc.png |
| | Type=Application |
| | Categories=System; |
| | </code> |
| | |
| | Finally, add the menu entry to the application launcher in LXPanel. |
