Tips to tweak xubuntu for my needs

[Jelle de Jong]

Hoi Ronald,

The shutdown command needs superuser rights to execute so it will always 
ask for a password. You can change this by adding the shutdown command 
to the sudoers list so it will not ask for a password any more. If this 
is save i don't know.

Then you can make a script that executes a sudo shutdown -h now command
and this will shutdown the pc.

You need to make a keyboard link to the script to let the keyboard 
execute the shutdown scripts.

It are a few steps but it is possible.

Best regards,

Jelle
