I did not know, how to halt my arch/fluxbox system without
password …
Now I put into my menu.
I use it for halt and for reboot also …

Hope it helps someone else.

%users ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt

Also, it depends on the system.

For some reason, shutdown -h now only takes me to a login console, but poweroff turns off the computer.

I used the NOPASSWD method.

I prefer typing “halt,” because it’s shorter. ;)

Is there a reason why you use halt instead of ‘shutdown -h now’ (and ‘shutdown -r now’ for reboot)? Is there any real difference?
