I've managed to get it to shutdown! I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers specifically: Shutting Down From The Console Without A Password Often people want to be able to shut their computers down without requiring a password to do so. This is particularly useful in media PCs where you want to be able to use the shutdown command in the media centre to shutdown the whole computer. To do this you need to add some cmnd aliases as follows: Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN_CMDS = /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/halt, /sbin/reboot You also need to add a user specification (at the end of the file after the "%admin ALL = (ALL) ALL" line so it takes effect - see above for details): <your username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN_CMDS I've not tried suspend etc yet, but I'm confident that between my half a brain and google I can work it out :) Thanks for all your help and for making a great plugin! -- zegermans ------------------------------------------------------------------------ zegermans's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19073 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
