Wget app for lock device, shutdown and restart

Hello. I'm looking for Wget app (like buttones with icons) for lock the device, shutdown and restart.
I want to be able to lock the device, shutdown and restart my N900 directly from the screen.

Thank you

You can always use Queen Beecon Widget. There's tons of guides and info how to create fine widgets using QBW.

I suppose you mean Widget. Anyway I think you could just, for example, make a shell script called reboot.sh like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

sudo run-standalone.sh reboot

and do
chmod +x reboot.sh

and a desktop file like this:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Version=0.1

Type=Application

Name=Reboot the phone

Exec=/home/user/reboot.sh

Icon=general_refresh

X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true

X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

and then add it as a shortcut to your desktop. Et viola! A reboot button.

Re: Wget app for lock device, shutdown and restart

I would not want to have a reboot button on the touchscreen - too touchy! But shutdown and lock is anyway so easily accessed through the power button menu. Only a reboot option is missing there. Would it be equally easy to add a reboot option there?

EDIT: Unsurprisingly, there are already howtos on t.m.o. on adding a reboot option in the power button menu.

Re: Wget app for lock device, shutdown and restart

@jot985,

Are you serious? how often do you shutdown or reboot. In any case, hitting the hardware button (which is always located at exactly the same position and works independently of anything else) and then tapping "Turn Off" or "Reboot" will take, even with the clumsiest hands, around 1% of the time it actually takes to reboot.

You will not again any speed with this. Only the change of accidentally shutting down or rebooting will be (much) higher.

For locking the screen you have *another* hardware switch, also always at the position and always working no-matter-what.

If you still want a widget, have a look at @mece's idea on this very same thread. Or use QBW as suggested on this very same thread.
