Hi I have created a script called i3exit that allows me to suspend or hibernate my laptop without having to exit my i3wm thus allowing me to save my work.
Here are the contents of my script: #!/bin/sh lock() { i3lock } case "$1" in lock) i3lock -d -i /home/neo1691/.i3/i3lock_screen.png -n ;; logout) i3-msg exit ;; suspend) sudo pm-suspend ;; hibernate) sudo pm-hibernate ;; reboot) sudo reboot ;; shutdown) sudo halt ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {lock|logout|suspend|hibernate|reboot|shutdown}" exit 2 esac exit 0 This script is stored in home/neo1691/bin/ directory and the directory is added in the PATH variable by adding 'export PATH=${PATH}:/home/neo1691/bin' in my .~/.bashrc file I used sudo visudo to edit the /etc/sudoers file and added this line at the end: neo1691 ALL=(ALL) ALL, NOPASSWD: /home/neo1691/bin/i3exit After a restart when I run 'i3exit suspend' from my terminal, I am still asked for my password. To sum it up here are the problems that I want to solve: 1) How can I run the script without asking for a password? 2) Is exporting the PATH variable like I had did is the correct way to add my directory to PATH, if I want the other processes to also access the scripts in that folder?
