Ahh... I see a weakness here. If $SDMASTER is set but point to a non-existing program, nothing will happen. I should take the return value of create_process into consideration, and fall back to the old shutdown if create_process fails. Will fix this tomorrow.You could also add the special SDMASTER=="XaAES" to also use the old shutdown.
Hmm... I'm not so sure. Then other programs that evaluates this variable won't work properly. I think it's better to fall back to the old shutdown when SDMASTER isn't set, or when create_process fails.
Btw. is there an easy way to display an alert from within XaAES? I think it would be useful to display an alert before shutdown or exiting all apps (Ctrl+Alt+A) to prevent accidental use of these shortcuts.
