Re: FVWM: Shutting down from FVWM

Write a little shell script to run the shutdown command.

Install sudo on your system (see the man page, etc.)

Set up the sudoers config file to allow you, your wife, etc. to run that
script with root permissions.

Add a menu item to your FVWM root menu (or wherever) that invokes "sudo
/my/script/name".

I did this on my system and it works like a champ. I actually have two
menu items, one to restart (reboot) and one to halt the system.
