+ wmShutdown is a Window Maker dock application that allows you to shutdown or reboot your machine just by clickig a button on your desktop.

As we have to shutdown a machine as a single user, there are some trick that must be remembered here.
-There are two binaries:
- wmShutdown: The dock itself, because GTK apps can't be suid
- Shutdown: suid program called by wmShutdown just to call /sbin/shutdown
+ wmshutdown: The dock itself, because GTK apps can't be suid
+ wmshutdown-run: suid program called by wmShutdown just to call /sbin/shutdown
- -During installation, your /sbin/shutdown is set suid
- -The suid binary is installed under /usr/local/bin/Shutdown
+ As this was created for workstations, probably there's not much to be afraid.
