OK, if I add above line to sudoers and save, then: linux:~ # su username username@linux:/root> shutdown -r now bash: shutdown: command not found username@linux:/root> /sbin/shutdown -r now shutdown: you must be root to do that! username@linux:/root> shutdown bash: shutdown: command not found username@linux:/root> /sbin/shutdown shutdown: you must be root to do that! username@linux:/root> And no, I did not altered my system, it's a fresh install of SuSE 8.2 pro.

To use sudo, you still need to type it Try: sudo shutdown -r now -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2) GNOME updates for SuSE: http://www.usr-local-bin.org

Of course. It means that sudo has not found the shutdown command. Type: sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now If you want to type less, add an alias: edit your "/home/user/.alias" file, and add the line: alias shutdown="sudo /sbin/shutdown -r now" Still, it will ask for your password - as it should be. I normally use "halt" (no parameters), and I always have got to be root to use that command, on all *nix versions I tried. Nothing new there... -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
