You could probably do "echo /sbin/reboot | sudo gainroot"

Hey thanx, I'll give that a try. Looks like it will work!

Heh, well that one didn't work. It opens two xterms and one collapses and disappears.

sudo could probably be abused for this:

Code:
sudo gainroot
echo "user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot" > /etc/sudoers.d/reboot.sudoers
update-sudoers
After that, change your reboot entry to run "sudo reboot".

OK, scratch that: that only worked once...

Do this, instead:

Do the sudoers trick outlined above;

/usr/share/dbus-1/services/reboot.service:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=com.misc.reboot
Exec=/usr/bin/sudo reboot
/etc/systemui/systemui.xml:
<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>

Same thing, opens two Xterms and leaves one while the other melts away.

Yep, I had it work once but then it started to do what you said. See my second method that abuses D-Bus - that worked more than once.

That worked, interesting, thanx!

Why is the Reboot using osso-powerup-shutdown so "abrupt". Both these methods work but the osso command juist seems "Violent" in it's nature!

Maybe someone know how I can get the button or shortcut icon for a simple bluetooth ON/OFF action ?
I need this for a quickly on/off bluetooth.
Thanks
