Hey guys thanks for all the feedback
@TheLandYacht. I tried this outr because it seems a simple solution. It did not work for me. I made a program in VB the would beep once you run it but did not succed in invoking it during shutdown
@reddeath: The final servo program is not ready yet. I will be using a phidget servo controller. Probably I will modify one of the examples found here (btw. I'm not a programmer so I'm taking this very slowly)
http://www.phidgetsusa.com/tutorials...Controller.asp.
My need is actually very simple. Run the program that will send a set value to the servo so it can retract my screen.
@whodwho: I have the power button set to shutdown the computer since my custom SD controller completely turns off the system (no power drain at all).
