What we're trying to establish here is the ability to execute shutdown
and other commands with no password prompt. I'm just not sure how to do
this on OSX inside of a script. From my testing on OSX, it didn't seem
as though your script was able to establish this.
I wonder if this would work...again, assuming that the script has been
run via sudo:
Code:
--------------------
SBSUSER=`/usr/bin/logname`
echo "" | sudo -S -u $SBSUSER sudo -S -k /sbin/shutdown -k now >/dev/null
2>&1 && OK=1 || OK=0;
--------------------
That gives you sudo nested three deep. I'm still not completely sure
that will cause sudo to prompt for $SBSUSER's password if $SBSUSER has
already presented its credentials to run the script.
A safer, if more primitive direction for mac users perhaps should be
the instructions to run:
sudo -K
sudo shutdown -k now
..from the terminal. That ought to show conclusively if any password
prompts are being raised.

Yes. What I've settled on in the linux help pages is:
sudo -u squeezeboxserver sudo -k /sbin/shutdown -k -h now
