It's like a modern zip file.
Download this, and you can unarchive it.

THX I tried long ago to use uboot shutdown function to create such tool, but didn't make it to work (not enough programming level).
Just added a WAIT (secs) arg to your program before poweroff.
Little snippet of my added code:
..
readarg = IDOS->ReadArgs("SECS/N",(LONG *)&args,NULL);
if(readarg!=NULL) sec=(*args.TimeWait)*1000;
wait_ms(sec);
..

THX mate find it quit cool to poweroff my SAM from CLI/Shell

One of the reasons people are so anti shutdown I think is that Windows abuses it, to not just switch off the computer but start installing updates etc etc, which can result in quite a delay, and many people don;t like to leave the machine alone whilst it switches off.


Its a poor policy for mobile devices like laptops and tablets.

Some people wont to get home from the office before the sun goes down, it is possible that I need my laptop when I'm home, so leaving it at office is not going to work.

Software shutdown even on my X1000 under Linux (Debian Squeeze) also requires pressing the power button; it does stop the disks etc, but then asks me to turn off the power myself.

I am surprised, especially about the X1000 athough that's obviously something which is possible at least.

A power off command that could be used in scripts or just to save reaching for the power button would be acceptable to pretty much any amiga user, no matter what their feelings about shutdown sequences.


I completely agree with you mate.

@Spirantho
@all

So does somebody know for certain if Wake-On-LAN and/or Power-Off are supported hardware-wise on AmigaONE-XE and/or Sam440flex.

Where to find documentation about the AmigaOne-XE schematics? I asked google, but all I could find was the Manual.

@Amigo1

The code to poweroff the SAM460 was on Uboot (from Acube website) sources. I was unable to "port" this code/function to an AOS4 program, but salas00 did the trick

So if from Uboot shell there exists a poweroff command for other AmigaOnes (XE, 440,..) maybe you can get the sources and be adapted like the one for SAM460.

@jabirulo

Regarding poweroff command on the Sam440, the same trick as on the Sam460 is at least theoretically possible on the Sam440 but the FPGA and PIC firmwares need to be reflashed first.

See this post from m3x for more details:

@Tomppeli

I added SECONDS to salas00's SAM460off and included A1-X1000 poweroff code (it checks which machine to use own poweroff code)
Did some tests/tries on my SAM460 and works fine. A1-X1000 untested.

Want to test it? Will send executable and source. And if everything is OK upload to os4depot ASAP.

Thanks for your reply I sent you an email.
So there is no way to send a Wake-On-LAN signal?

Don't know for sure, but i think WOL should be implemented (if not already) in uboot.

@jabirulo

me myself and I.
Can someone point me (enlight) where to look (wbsite, code, sdk docs, dos_lib, XXX_resource,..) to add to poweroff SYNC feature (like in reboot cmd.)?

TIA
