Hello
I am just commencing a retrofit of a milling machine. I am trying to decide on a UI to use - at the moment I am tossing up between Gmoccapy and a custom GScreen.
My first question......is there a way to shut down the pc when you exit Linuxcnc. For example, if I am using Gmoccapy, and I click the exit button in the lower right corner, it would be great if it could shut down Linuxcnc and then shut down the PC.
Thanks
Andrew

I can imagine two solutions
1. Change gmoccapy code to execute the shutdown command.
2. Use a bash script to start ljnuxcnc and wait until linuxcnc stops and send then the shutdown command.
But i have never done that.

Hi Norbert
Thanks - I will try the bash script first, as I am a little more comfortable doing that.

Hello,
I use gmoccapy. When I turn on the machine, the computer starts first, then gmoccapy. How can I shut down Linuxcnc first and then the computer when I press an external key?
Can I do this with a button on the machine?

I think you could script the HAL file to configure the external button to shut down LinuxCNC first, then the computer, and link the button to both functions in that order.

You could launch LinuxCNC with a script like so
and connect the pin gmoccapy.h-button.button-9, which exits gmoccapy, to an external button.
#!/bin/bash
linuxcnc '/home/yourusername/linuxcnc/configs/yourconfig/yourconfig.ini'
systemctl poweroffand connect the pin gmoccapy.h-button.button-9, which exits gmoccapy, to an external button.

This seems to work for me:
#!/bin/bash
linuxcnc '/home/yourusername/linuxcnc/configs/yourconfig/yourconfig.ini' && systemctl poweroff

Are you asking me how it works or are you asking the OP if it works for him?
[edit]
'&&' means that the second command (ie 'systemctl poweroff') is only executed once the first command (ie 'linuxcnc '/home/yourusername/linuxcnc/configs/yourconfig/yourconfig.ini') has been successfully executed, which is only the case once linuxcnc has been shutdown again.
Useful if you want a one line command.
[edit2]
in comparison '&' will run both commands independently
