How to enable shutting down a device from Lockdown menu?

Hi everyone, I am wondering how to enable shutting down a device from the lockdown menu, without using the power button. We have several customers using Samsung Active Tab 3 tablets. They have the weird additional function button, but that means the usual power button doesn't work as a power button and turning it off requires additional actions that not always work. 

So my goal is to make a Lockdown screen icon, that will shut down the device. These are enterprise enrollments. I managed to setup a restart script using the Custom action in lockdown and a script in a cmd file on the device. But unfortunately I found out, that while the restart script works, shutdown and turnoff scripts already don't work anymore.

Does anyone have any other idea? Maybe using the Action: command, or Intent: or whatever...

Hello Ondrej,

In some devices there is an activty that shows up when the power buttun is pressed.

You may try to identify that activity and include that in the lockdown.

Hi Ondrej Kundlak

Thank you for posting on SOTI Pulse. 

Since you mentioned that the restart script works for you and the shutdown and the turnoff scripts does not work anymore, it would be greatly appreciated if you can provide us clarity on which is the script that you had tried in the lockdown screen to turnoff the device.

If you can kindly provide the script that you were using to test, let us check on the same and update you regarding the same.
