Issue with shutdown from the web interface

gnipp

Happy new year everybody,

following the faq: https://www.repetier-server.de/faq/upgrade-to-our-latest-pi-image/ I've set up a new image using Debian Bookworm Raspi-image 64 bit and the latest Repetier-Server-1.4.15-Linux.deb (not the Raspi image).

Everything as expected, backing up and restore /var/lib worked like a charme.

However there is a small issue with the server shutdown now using the corresponding command in the web-ui: "Shutdown Server": It turned out that the server ignores the request. From ssh requesting the service status, I saw the message below.

pi@repetier:~ $ sudo service RepetierServer status

pi@repetier:~ $

What may I change to have the command working as expected?

Here's the command entry from /var/lib/Repetier-Server/database/extcommands.xml (without icon CData)

<command>
	<name>Shutdown Server</name>
	<icon>...</icon>
	<execute>sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now</execute>
	<confirm>Really shut down the server?</confirm>
	<!-- Define if command should show up in local printer interface, default true.-->
	<local>true</local>
	<!-- Define if command should show up in remote printer interface, default true.-->
	<remote>true</remote>
	<!-- Define if command should show up only for users with print permission, default true.-->
	<print-permission>true</print-permission>
	<!-- Define if command should show up only for users with add files permission, default false.-->
	<add-permission>true</add-permission>
	<!-- Define if command should show up only for users with del files permission, default false.-->
	<del-permission>true</del-permission>
	<!-- Define if command should show up only for users with configuration permission, default false.-->
	<config-permission>true</config-permission>
</command>

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

You need to add /sbin/shutdown to the sudoer list for user repetierserver so that user can execute sudo for that command without asking for password. See manual documentation where the file is described.
