Hi guys…

One problem we have is that the machine shutdown command doesnt work. It seem’s to need to be used with sudo on linux boxes.

Hello,

The solution to this issue, which we need to get fixed in the scripts we run, is to set the suid on the shutdown app in sbin. This article: linux.byexamples.com/archives/31 … -password/ has information on how to do that, and should make this work right for you.
