[Haskell-cafe] Traypoweroff questions

[Luis Cabellos]

Hi,

  I just put an application into hackage
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/traypoweroff. I made this application to
allow a tray icon in xmonad to poweroff and reboot my computer.

  But I dislike two things I made.

  The first one is the use of */sbin/poweroff* and */sbin/reboot* with
system call. I feel than i should be a better way to do the poweroff or the
reboot.

   err <- system "sudo /sbin/reboot"

   The second issue is, the user need to put into sudoers the permission to
execute reboot and poweroff. The use of *sudo* seems a little awkward. I'll
like a cleaner installation without force user touch configuration files.

      myuser ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff

Thanks for the help, Luis Cabellos

p.d: I'll add suspend with pm-suspend command in the next version BTW
