plackemacher / system-shutdown

Go package to shut down, reboot, sleep, or hibernate the system.

system-shutdown

system-shutdown provides a cross-platform way to shut down, reboot, sleep, or hibernate operations.

Supported platforms: Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Based on the work from the Rust crate system_shutdown.

Usage

Add this to your go.mod:

require (
    github.com/plackemacher/system-shutdown
)

and then:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/plackemacher/system-shutdown"
    "os"
)

func main() {
    err := system_shutdown.Shutdown()
    if err != nil {
        println("Shutting down, bye!")
    } else {
        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Failed to shut down: %v", err)
    }
}

In most of the systems it does not require the user to be root or admin.
