Ubuntu 16.04 - shutdown when an application closes?

[SamanthaD]

Hi all,

 

First off - I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux in any form, so please be gentle!

 

I've put together an old touchscreen machine to run my lighting software on (Chamsys) and have put it onto Ubuntu 16.04. It's running happily and I've got the software auto-starting, but as I'd like to run it without a keyboard or mouse I'd also like the machine to shutdown after I close the software (there's a large Quit button in the software which closes it rather than the normal red X in the top left).

 

Anyone know if this is possible? And if so give a very basic walkthrough of how to achieve it?

 

TiA!

Interesting idea - though I'm not going to try that one until after the weekend (I'm using the rig tomorrow!) - though the comment about Chrome not starting fullscreen gives me a little worry. Worth trying though, thanks.
