I was trying to make shutdown without root user using visudo
I tried the following still it did not work for me
hawk ALL=NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown -h now
It may require a reboot for this to apply. Have you already done this?
yes
I also tried hawk ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
also it still asks for root password
Are you including ‘sudo’ when you type the command?
sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now

This is an example that should work:
hawk ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
Also sudoers file changes apply immediately (no reboot/login/loout required).
Good luck.
