Shutdown Void Linux without password


In **Void Linux** using just a window manager you don't have the option to shutdown or reboot the computer without using a password to do it.


The simplest method to give any group of users the ability to shutdown/restart without entering a password and can be useful for simpler WMs, but instead allow users to customize menu actions, such as OpenBox, dmenu and shell scripts. This requires commands be pretended with sudo.


**Warning: NEVER edit /etc/sudoers directly! Always use the visudo command**.


To allow members of the group "wheel" to shutdown without a password:


sudo visudo

Find this line and add:


%wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/halt, /usr/bin/poweroff, /usr/bin/reboot, /usr/bin/shutdown, /usr/bin/zzz, /usr/bin/ZZZ

Save the file and shutdown or reboot you computer. This will work out of the box.
