That might be the source of the problem. Have you tried to tell i3 the exact path of your script? It might be that i3 is not using the same $PATH, because your bashrc (like most) possibly begins with [ -z "$PS1" ] && return to prevent non-interactive evaluation. Should that be the case, you could add a PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin before the i3-command which starts your window manager when you login. It should then appear in /proc/.../environ properly. > Also, will adding this line : > `neo1691 ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /home/neo1691/bin/i3exit` will stop > asking passwords if I run i3exit.

Instead, I had to configure an alias -- my /etc/sudoers.d/50-masysma-mahalt looks like this: Cmnd_Alias SHUTDOWN = /usr/bin/mahalt linux-fan ALL=NOPASSWD: SHUTDOWN Be aware, however, that if you make a script you can edit with your normal user permissions runnable with sudo and no password, you are effectively removing any security provided by sudo: If anyone gains control of your account, the script could be edited to just invoke a root /bin/bash. > Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks I apologize for my previous post, which, reading the actual question, was not really helpful. I hope this is more informative. Linux-Fan -- http://masysma.ohost.de/
