What is MyShutdown? - A simple Gtk interface to the system commands 'halt' and 'reboot' How do I install it? - Run 'gcc -Wall -g $1.c -o $1 `gtk-config --cflags` `gtk-config --libs` myshutdown.c'. Move the binary 'cdmount' to for example /usr/local/bin. Move configurationfile 'myshutdown.conf' to /etc. Done. Who wrote it? - Me, Patrik Hermansson. Is it GPL'ed? - Yes indeed. Where do I find new versions, help etc? - myshutdown.sourceforge.net What about sudo? Can normal users run 'halt' and 'reboot'? - No, normal users can't run these commands. Because of this, Sudo has to be installed. (http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/) Install it, and edit the configuration by running 'visudo' as root. Add the line 'ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/halt' and 'ALL ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/reboot' to the end of the file. This makes it possible for all users to run the commands.
