First add the user to SudoUsers: as root edit the file; #visudo Add the following(substitute %users with the user) %users ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown %users ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot Now edit ~/.fluxbox/menu(this is a symbolic link to /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu) I prefer editing /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu Append this line in the menu position of your choice between [begin] (fluxbox) and [end] [exec] (Shutdown) {sudo /sbin/shutdown -hP now} Enjoy.. I had the same challenge, this is how i simplified it quickly..
First add the user to SudoUsers:
as root edit the file; #visudo
Add the following(substitute %users with the user)
%users ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
%users ALL= NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot

Now edit ~/.fluxbox/menu(this is a symbolic link to /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu)
I prefer editing /etc/X11/fluxbox/fluxbox-menu
Append this line in the menu position of your choice between [begin] (fluxbox) and [end]
[exec] (Shutdown) {sudo /sbin/shutdown -hP now}

Enjoy..
