PANIC BUTTON!! THEY MOVED THE ARCH FORUM!!!
Whew, I found it... but that was scary.

Anyways, I want to be able to have certain scripts or whatnots be able to run, say, Pacman or reboot a from non-root account (without su'ing). How would I go about doing this, if anyone knows?

Not quite what I was looking for... but I just found it. I want to "sudo" from inside a script. Here is where I found my solution.
