ok, i'm dumb.
the exit command in the general setup was simply 'halt'. it obviously
needs to be 'sudo halt' (or 'sudo /sbin/halt' if no alias is defined in sudoers
file). then i can reset my permissions to the way they should be on halt
(chmod -s /sbin/halt). is this the way to do it?
so,
i've worked on it a little more. found a couple
issues.
1)
need to have /sbin/halt in the sudoers file:
"live ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown, /sbin/halt,
/sbin/reboot"
2)
need to have /sbin in my user path. did this by adding "PATH=$PATH:/sbin"
to the .bashrc file in my mythtv user's d

Sounds like you need to define the full path to the shutdown command in
the setup box. By default, most systems put shutdown into /sbin and a
non-root user doesn't have /sbin in its path.
Try putting /sbin/shutdown (or /usr

that the user i am logging in with does not have priveleges to run

anything though. here's my file, username live:

This feature is only there if you use separated machines for your

Hi,
I have seen the exit dialog showing Yes, No, Yes and shutdown before
when messing with multiple clients, is there any way to get mythfrontend
to shutdown the pc on the same machine as the backend - manually? I've
