I had a request from an industrial machine user for a system shutdown button in Gscreen. I looked into it and it's actually a bit of a pain - it normally require sudo password.
The best command I found was: shutdown -h now There are other ways using Dbus but it seems it's a gamble what systems will follow this. It seems the only way to have shutdown not require the user to enter the password, would be to call a script with admin rights. I am wondering if this is something we could add to linuxcnc's make file to add this script and setuid it for admin rights. I'd hate to add a button to Gscreen that require the integrator to have to add a guru script to make it work (even if it is fairly easy). reference link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8089471/remotely-shutdown-restart-a-linux-machine-without-password Chris M ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!
