How to poweroff reboot suspend and hibernate as ordinary user?
I'm using reboot poweroff pm-suspend and pm-hibernate as root, but what should I do to run this as ordinary user?
I have tried visuo and add something like this:
Code:
nil ALL =  /sbin/poweroff, /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

But it doesn't work at all.
Please tell me what should I do.

NUIL ...

when using sudo you retain the PATH for the user runing sudo, and by default /sbin (where poweroff is located) isn't in that PATH. I expect this is the issue (though providing the exact command, and output, is always recommended). That being the case either use 'sudo /sbin/poweroff' or add /sbin to path (and so execute 'sudo poweroff').

bash:
~/bash_profile:
export PATH="$PATH:/sbin"

zsh:
~/.zprofile:
if [[ $EUID != 0 ]] && (($+commands[sudo])) ; then
    typeset -xT SUDO_PATH sudo_path
    typeset -U sudo_path
    sudo_path=({,/usr/local,/usr}/sbin(N-/))
fi

~/.zshrc:
zstyle ':completion:*:sudo:*' environ PATH="$SUDO_PATH:$PATH"

HTH & best ... khay
