What preference controls the shutdown?

You can schedule a shutdown at a particular time/day through the Energy Saver pref pane.
Your thread subject implies that you are having problems shutting down. Is that the case?
I can better help you if you can be more specific with your problem.
Please include information about your system (Mac Model, installed RAM, external devices - including external USB hubs, and software that may be running when you want to shutdown.
AND, can you put the system to sleep, but shutdown is stubborn? Add any other info that you think might be relevant.

Thank you,
My powerbook T4 667Mhz 1GB SDRAM OSX 10.4.1 refuses to shut down.
This started after it was asleep, awoke, and then would not shut down.
I have repaired, permissions, run sudo daily, weekly, monthly clean ups, trashed all cache's (bad idea) run dis warrior, rebooted from a clean user ( therefore at system level) rebooted from installation disk and run disk repairs from there.
I can shut down aod reboot only from terminal or an external startup disk.
Option: trash the system preference that controls shutdown
Or: Clean install. (pain).
What do you suggest?
What is this new vshieldcheck, and why is it hogging the processor?
Could that have something to do with it?
many thanks again,
Brooks

That process vshieldcheck, is part of your Virex software. You should uninstall Virex, as it's not compatible with Tiger. Here's an article that will help you do that. http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6979
Once you uninstall Virex, your system should be back to normal
If you do ask, you can probably live without virus protection on a Mac. As you can see, anti-virus software tends to cause more problems than help. Norton AV is OK, and some people swear by ClamAV.
No virus protection is better than the problems that you now have.

Thank you!
It was the fkcing vsheild check messing things up, activated after putting my laptop to sleep.
finding an disk image of virex7.5+ was not easy; it is not on the mac or macaffee site, and fortunately I saved on anothre disk the original download.
On the disk/image is "uninstall" which is a script necesary to run in terminal that deletes the vsheild.
But it does not delete anything else, so I would reccomend to anyone deperately trying to eliminate virex to spotlight search virex and delete all related files adn empty the trash.
And life will retrun to normal.
Thanks for the support!
