Re: clean shutdown



Mildy suprised someone hasn't already mentioned this.

There is a program called SUDO, which has a debian package. It allows
selected users to run selected programs as root, without them having to su
to root. It's really easy to use.

I use it on my laptop, both to shut it down, and run APM to suspend the
laptop, both of which have to be run as root normally.

If you need a hand, I'm more than happy to help,

cheers,

damon
