Shutdown with shortcut?

[bagger]

Hello!

Please help me.

I have Kubuntu on my comp, and If I click on the shutdown icon in the menu, the kubuntu will shut down, but the computer is'nt turning off.

I want to make a shortcut on the desktop with the following terminal code:
sudo su shutdown -h now

The problem is, that Kubuntu ask for the root password now.
Can I make another code with root password, also I want to turn off my computer with this icon, I don't want to type any passwords.

Thx

Why sudo su? "sudo shutdown -h now" should be good enough. You will then be asked for your own password, not root's. Shutting down the computer is a job for root [or (p)s(e)udo-root] so if you initiate it from your own login you'll need to give a password of some kind. The shutdown option in KDE works without a password because it comes out of a process that already belongs to root and not to you.

I use Ubuntu so I'm not familiar with Kubuntu's shutdown choices. There should be one that does a complete shutdown as distinct from just logging you out. Are you sure you used the right one?
