[mythtv-users] Clean Shutdown from Frontend??

[Dave Ansell]

Thanks for that.

I wasnt familiar with the workings of sudo, so I have learnt something new!

The poweroff command also seems to work out-of-the-box as it were.  Not sure 
why users are stopped by default from using shutdown but not poweroff. 
Still thats not my problem.



cheers for the help,
Dave
