Switching a Pi off

Hi,
I installed a button switch and an LED.
The hardware and software are both very simple.
The short push of the button toggles play/pause, and the long push (indicated by the LED) starts shutdown.
The control script is written in shell script, so installation of python or so is not required.

Hi yio,

your solution with bash scripting looks indeed promising.
Did you check if it causes any measurable load on cpu?

BTW, to start (again), you have to unplug and plug in the power source?
When I find some spare time, I'll try to merge start function into your bash script. It's just one more GPIO. Pentecost, or summer holiday, or christmas...

Isn't it great to find at least some solutions to this !"§$%&! problem?
I like this forum.
