Hello Guys!
I would like to change the behavior of the Shutdown / Logoff / Reboot buttons on the Start Menu.
Is this possible?
thx
Hi @member – you can create a custom application which can do everything you want the system to do via command line. Here is a kb-article to this topic:

Hi @member, thx for your reply. I created some custom applications for shutdown etc. Is there a possibility to replace the “normal” commands in the start menu with my custom created applications? So it would be easier for the user. THX
This options doesn’t cover your needs?:

I would like to add a custom command to this icons. For example the shutdown button should also log of the user from citrix storefront. is this possible? Or do I have to remove the icons and publish custom command on desktop? thx
I would go for the last option and publish custom apps to the desktop. Any other solution of customizing the commands behind those restart and shutdown icons must be a feature request. In this case you have to raise a technical support ticket with igel.
But I have another idea. Could be this option a possibility to cover this use-case? -> Setup > System > Firmware Customization > Custom Commands > Post Session
Hi @member our Problem is that a specific program does not close when the user logs off from Citrix XenApp and sessions will hang in disconnected state. So i have to “kill” the session with this custom shutdown / reboot or logoff commands in order to get sure that on a possible login after the logoff the program opens correctly… so a Post Session command is not possible because the session gets never logged off correctly… For now i have published the custom commands to the desktops and i removed the “normal” shutdown etc. commands from the start menu. THX for your help!!!!
Hi @member just two thoughts: the Citrix Logoff hang is something you could maybe fix in another way:

If that is what you are already doing: you could switch the EDT from UDP to TCP: kb.igel.com/igelos-11.03.100/en/citrix-freeze-at-logout-24385758.html
Hi @member, thx for your hints. The problem is, that a program that gets launched with Citrix is not closing clean. When i kill the process via Citrix Director the session closes. As workaround i created the custom commands and until now it works fine!
Hi @member, the shutdown button is triggering a script called user_shutdown.
It lives in the /sbin/ and it checks the parameters you defined under System > Power Options > Shutdown
If you’re a bit Linux savvy you could try to push in your own script…
Hi @member, thx a lot for this hint, I will have a look on this 😃
