SYNOPSIS /usr/bin/X11/dxshutdown OPTIONS The dxshutdown command accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command- line options, which are documented in the OPTIONS section of the X(1X) reference page.

You do not need to configure anything prior to running Shutdown Manager. You must be root to run Shutdown Manager.
