unplug2shutdown

A python tool to shutdown your computer by removing an USB device.

Originally intended to be run on RaspberryPi to prevent brutal shutdown.

Dependencies

Debian and derivatives

sudo apt-get install python-gobject python-gudev

This tool is at a very early stage, there's no installer yet so here's the deal:

run as root:

 /path/to/unplug2shutdown.py --configure

follow the instructions. Basically you'll need to plug the device that you want to use as a shutdown handler;
run the tool as root at startup:
```
/path/to/unplug2shutdown.py &
```
unplug the device and look at the magic;

Any feedback or pull requests are welcome.

No installer yet, no uninstaller yet. Remove downloaded files and the configuration file:

/root/.unplug2shutdownrc
