Shutdown Alerter

Shutdown Alerter is a little extension for VSCode that monitors /run/systemd/shutdown/scheduled looking for scheduled shutdown and reboot event.

If an event is found, a notification dialog is displayed, along with a status bar notification message giving the type of event and the scheduled time.

Motivation

When ssh'd in to a Linux machine, if a shutdown or reboot event is triggered there is a broadcast notification is shown on the ssh terminal. However, if connected via VSCode the notification isn't shown. This extension monitors the shutdown schedule file and provides a notification.

File Format

The expected format of the notification file is:

USEC=1563976800000000
WARN_WALL=1
MODE=reboot

Anything other than this is not supported.
