I think I need to make one more correction, I backspaced the ".tmp" suffix<div class="im"><br>
off the file name, hit enter and was asked if I wanted to overwrite the<br>
existing file, and remembering the other directory, different location, I<br>
chose no and saved it as mythtv.3, see terminal output:<br>
daryl@daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv.3<br>
%mythtv ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown, /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh<br>
daryl@daryl-A780L3C:~$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv<br>
daryl@daryl-A780L3C:~$<br>
If necessary, do I use a "sudo mv" command to rename it? Or can I reference<br>
it as named?<br>

First, I'd type:<br>
<br>
ls -l /etc/sudoers.d<br>
<br>
to see if any other files crept in there. I believe you started with<br>
none (other than README.) So, check first.<br>
<br>
Based on Karl's reply and yours, you already have the proper<br>
name, but it has nothing in it.<br>
<br>
You should end up with just the README and the new file. The output<br>
should look like this for the mythtv file:<br>
<br>
-r--r----- 1 root root 380 Mar 29 15:21 mythtv<br>
<br>
in other words, owned by user and group root. And read only<br>
by them. Obviously the number of characters and timestame<br>
will be different from mine.<br>
<br>
So remove the mythtv.3 file and use visudo to correct the<br>
real one.<div class=""><div class="h5"><br>
