+# ShutdownMonitor
+
+This software installs a possibility to perform a clean shutdown of the Venus OS via the
+menu system.
+
+## Usage
+
+### dbus
+
+The ShutdownMonitor runs as a service and creates a dbus service with a single
+parameter: ``/Shutdown``. Setting ``/Shutdown`` to ``1`` will trigger a clean OS shutdown.
+
+### Menu
+
+A shutdown submenu is added to the *Settings* / *General* menu. A submenu is used to alert
+the user that a power cycle is needed to restart the GX device.
+
+**Note**: A Cerbo GX restarts itself after a shutdown so this addition may not be useful
+in all situations.
+
+### Raspberry GPIO
+
+For Raspberry PI platforms, pulling GPIO #16 (pin 36 on the pin header) low for 2 seconds
+will also trigger a shutdown if enabled in the Shutdown menu. This requires
+[RpiGpioSetup](https://github.com/kwindrem/RpiGpioSetup) with Version v3.4 or later to
+activate the GPIO pin.
+
+## Setup
+
+The easiest way to install this or other of my packages is to first install
+[SetupHelper](https://github.com/kwindrem/SetupHelper), then use its package install tool.
+Refer to the SetupHelper ReadMe for instructions.
