Shutdown delay

Question

Hi, I'm new to the Mac world. I've bought my Mac in September 2011.
Anyway, everything is ausome so far, but recently the shutdown is taking about 20 sec (was 3 sec). The only thing I've done is I've installed a CDMA USB modem (for internet).
I've done all repairs in the "Disk Utility", and nothing is solved. I even updated Lion to 10.7.2, plus the new Recovery Update.
I need help.
My system is:
i7 2.3, 8GB, 240 V3 OCZ SSD, Lion 10.7.2

Answer 1

Are you trying to use the shutdown/suspend just to pause the VI, or is there something else that you're testing that requires a shutdown/suspend. If it's the former, you could, for instance, simply write the
VI to receive a "pause" signal so that it pauses what it's doing,
rather than resorting to suspending/shutting down the computer.If it's the latter what determines whether you need to perform a shutdown as opposed to a suspend?
The
specific answer to suspend/shutdown depends on what operating system
you have, as well as what the capabilities of your actual computer are.
Not all computers support certain shutdown/suspend/reactivate
operations. It basically depends on what motherboard and BIOS you have. If you're
running Windows there's the whole Windows API that you can use to
program this. An alternative is to use scheduled tasks or command line commands. For instance, you can run "shutdown" from the command line to shutdown the PC. You can create a scheduled task to run at a specific time and wake the computer in order to run the task. You can use a command line command to create this scheduled task based on when you suspend the computer. Look at the at command or shtasks.
