Back in, I think it was firmware 1.5, there was an area to set an auto-shutdown timer. I was never able to get it to actually work and was only able to get the screen to go to sleep after a certain amount of time, and on 1.6 I'm not even seeing that option. Is it possible to set the RG350 to shutdown after a certain period of non-use?

I have not tried any of the newer custom firmwares as yet so I do not have a definite answer. Have you checked in the GMenu settings for any power related settings?

You do this... Write a bash shell script as follows.
Firstly, connect the RG350 to your computer and log in as root from Linux terminal. Windows users can use putty... This assumes Network in Gmenu2x is set to 'no password'.

SSH [email protected]

Press ENTER.

Write the following script...

#!/bin/bash
shutdown -h +5 "System is shutting down in 5 mins".
Wait 5

Save the script as shutdown.sh and set the executable bit to the script...

chmod +x shutdown.sh

Now you can exit the SSH connection and disconnect the RG350 from the computer.

Finally, attach the script to GMenu2x. Edit the time to shutdown by changing +5 (for five minutes to your preferred number).
