[mythtv-users] exit and shutdown from mythtv

[Tim]

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.

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
<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?
