so,
i've worked on it a little more. found a couple
issues.
1)
need to have /sbin/halt in the sudoers file:
"live ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown, /sbin/halt,
/sbin/reboot"
2)
need to have /sbin in my user path. did this by adding "PATH=$PATH:/sbin"
to the .bashrc file in my mythtv user's directory.
then
the sudo xxxx commands worked. unfortunately, that's not how mythtv must
call for shutdown. i get "halt: must be superuser".
so i typed "chmod +s /sbin/halt". now it works. i can exit
from the menu button and my frontend will shutdown. the sudo file stuff
doesn't mean anything now, and all users can now halt the system. is there
a better way to do this? thanks.
-----Original Message-----
the 'exit and
shutdown' button used to work for me. isn't now though. i've noticed
that the user i am logging in with does not have priveleges to run
shutdown. so, i editted the sudoers file. didn't seem to change
anything though. here's my file, username live:
<start>
# /etc/sudoers
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN = /sbin/shutdown
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
live ALL = NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN
#
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
#
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
#
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN = /sbin/shutdown
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
live ALL = NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN
<end>
but, when i choose
the 'exit and shutdown' button, i get a command not
found. specifically, 'sh: line 1: halt: command not found'. any
ideas?
