Some breakthrough... I managed to find the process and kill it, but how do I set the time to kill the process??

The sleep command should work for that.. i've seen others use the sleep successfully.

sleep 3600 ; kill <id>

Thanx Buddy, it worked!!
just one more thing, is there a way to "kill" the system and force it to shutdown? Which process should I look for?

I thought that's what you had found. I don't know the answer to that. Typically, killing processes isn't the best way to shutdown a device.

It really surprises me that none of these commands work to shutdown the system:

shutdown, init 0, reboot

shutdown

~ $ shutdown
~sh: shutdown: command not found


the same for bash
init: command not found

sleep 5
works fine

as most of shell commands comes with a box
mayby a box for Maemo 5
comes with different set of shell commands.

Thanx again Dariius, can you identify for me the processes for the internet browser and the internet radio player?

in my case search for
/usr/bin/browser
process with lowest PID
running
ps -a

started internet radio applet
and a number of processes
/usr/bin/osso-media-server
appeared

Try to run ps -a
with web browser off and on
to see a difference.

The same for internet radio player.

You can save ps -a listing to a file
ps -a > yourfilename.txt
than open it in editor or file viewer.

But please run CLI commands, as below
and send screenshots

===
In my case (Nokia 770)
I have installed bash shell 3.2
I can run bash from CLI

~ $ bash
bash-3.2$

bash-3.2$ shutdown 1 -h
( no need for sudo gainroot)

rebooted after 1 min (the above)

============
=======================================

$ sudo gainroot

/home/user # shutdown 1 -h

shutdown 1
shut down and reboot after 1 min

shutdown 1 -hP

shut down and powered off

It is. This works only in Maemo 2 and 3.

Thanks.
So it looks like list of shell commands supported by Maemo 5 BusyBox
is limited.
You can list all of the them from CLI.

BusyBox v1.4.1 (2007-03-12) Built-in shell (ash)
comes with 2007He OS

Please run help from CLI to list shell commands.

thanx to all of you and my persistency I managed to find out the right command. First install the gainroot access, only then in the xterm you type "sudo gainroot" to gain root access then you type "sleep 60 ; poweroff", 60 being in seconds.
It will as suggested, shut down the whole system.
