+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.
