i cant seem to get past the 3rd command line entry:

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ sudo gainroot
Root shell enabled

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/home/user # echo "user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot"
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot
/home/user # /etc/sudoers.d/reboot.sudoers
/bin/sh: /etc/sudoers.d/reboot.sudoers: not found
/home/user # /etc/sudoers.d/reboot.sudoers

Re: How to add a reboot button by-sifo

Can you explain to me why I need an extra dbus-service for this.
Why not just uncomment the already existing reboot entry
in systemui.xml?

And this does not work, you have to redirect the output
of the echo command.

Re: How to add a reboot button by-sifo

editing systemui.xml is the easiest way..

This is a better version: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=48843 amongst others.

Am I alone in wondering what benefit there is of copy/pasting stuff from a blog to a forum post here? The info on the blog probably originated from here in the first place!

No you're not, I was thinking the same thing, even more when also reading his other threads.
Maybe he want to boost his thanks meter?

Like the Note said:
some of you may notice that a reboot entry is already defined in systemui.xml. However, osso-powerup-shutdown performs a shutdown which kill all apps suddenly. Rebooting with sudo reboot will gently shutdown all software and sync your filesystem, which is safer. Lets just say that there was probably a reason that the default entry was commented out.

BTW: The source is here * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
Part 1
Part 2
both posted by good old qwerty12

Or the summary by MohammadAG

Code:

sudo gainroot

echo "user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot" > /etc/sudoers.d/reboot.sudoers

update-sudoers

nano /usr/share/dbus-1/services/reboot.service

# Paste this into it:

[D-BUS Service]

Name=com.misc.reboot

Exec=/usr/bin/sudo reboot

# CTRL + O to save, CTRL+X to quit nano

nano /etc/systemui/systemui.xml

# Paste this into it:

<menuitem priority="750" name="Reboot">

<icon>general_refresh</icon>

<callback service="com.misc.reboot" path="/com/misc/reboot" interface="com.misc.reboot" method="reboot" bus="session" autostart="true">

<argument type="boolean">true</argument>

</callback>

</menuitem>

# CTRL + O to save, CTRL+X to quit nano

killall systemui

Cheers,

Easiest way,
open /etc/systemui/systemui.xml

Code:

nano /etc/systemui/systemui.xml

and remove the whole block

Code:

<menuitem priority="750" name="Reboot">

<icon>general_refresh</icon>

<callback service="com.misc.reboot" path="/com/misc/reboot" interface="com.misc.reboot" method="reboot" bus="session" autostart="true">

<argument type="boolean">true</argument>

</callback>

</menuitem>

or comment it out by adding

Code:

<!--

<menuitem priority="750" name="Reboot">

<icon>general_refresh</icon>

<callback service="com.misc.reboot" path="/com/misc/reboot" interface="com.misc.reboot" method="reboot" bus="session" autostart="true">

<argument type="boolean">true</argument>

</callback>

</menuitem>

-->
