I'm running FreeRapid v.81 which is an auto downloader for Rapidshare files in Linux Mint 6 (Ubuntu 8.10). When I try using the auto shutdown option I get "System command "shutdown" is not supported or defined on this system. Check your settings in the file "syscmd.properties". In the syscmd.properties file it shows the following:


# The commands are called from the application (eg. shutdown system, when all downloads are complete).

# This configuration file has a syntax of Java properties file (key=value, # - line comment. \n - new line, \t - tabulator).

#

# Application searches for this file in its configuration directory as first (~/.APPCODE),

# then it searches for this file in application's home directory.

# It's recommended to copy this file to its configuration directory (~/.APPCODE) for easier upgrading to newer version of the application.

Anyone know what I do here? Thanks.

Hi,
I've never used FreeRapid before but it seems that the commented code below is causing your problem.



Can you please try replacing

With

?

Just said "Shutdown command failed". Am I supposed to include the ' on either side of the command?

I just checked the javadoc page http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/...roperties.html, seems they are not

Still didn't work. Thanks anyway.

Thinking off the top of my hat. This does make sense. You need to be root to shutdown the system and as such the shutdown command might not be able to run due to lack of permissions.

Are you familiar with altering the sudoers file?

# It's highly recommended to insert sleep pause (eg. 2 seconds) before executing this type of command.

# Application DOESN'T WAIT for a result code.

What does that mean? Or how can I insert sleep pause??

P.S. In my OS (pardus) the command to shutdown the computer is "halt". It may be the same in the other Linux OS.
