Restart/Shutdown/Log Out without confirmation in Xubuntu/Xfce

The confirmation dialog shown in the image below can be disabled and the action (restart, shutdown, ...) will be executed immediately.

Confirmation being asked for the restart action.

Disable confirmation

Open a terminal window and run:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -n -p /plugins/plugin-9/ask-confirmation -s false -t bool
Alternative

Open "Action Buttons" plugin preferences (right-click on the Xfce panel item and select properties) and uncheck "show confirmation dialog".

Disable action confirmation

  1. Hi,

    Is it possible to make a shortcut of the shutdown/restart action button from the xfce4-panel, or is it possible to run via console command, as I would like to keep the countdown timer , and the xfce4-session-logout wouldn't let me do this. Thanks !

    1. If you want a shortcut on the panel itself try enabling "Action Buttons": http://goo.gl/Aog218

      Then make the "Restart" and "Shutdown" actions visible.

    2. From the command line you can use the "shutdown" command.

      Reboot in one minute: sudo shutdown -r +1
      Halt now: sudo shutdown -h now

  3. I do like time timeout, but 30 sek is far too long. Any chance to adjust that? Lets say to 5-10 seconds maybe?

    1. Unfortunately it seems that the timeout is not configurable.

    2. That's bad news! I was hoping that it was hidden in a config file... But thanks for the quick reply!
