Hi, Can you try: systemctl poweroff instead of /usr/bin/poweroff and see if that works? Many thanks and best wishes, Ranjan On Tue, 15 Sep 2015 15:55:58 -0800 Antonio Olivares <wingators@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear folks, > > I had a crontab entry to shutdown machine for a while.

But I don't remember which fedora 19/20 the crontab entry (did not work as regular user but I had to use it as root user) now it seems to work by command line > > $ /usr/sbin/poweroff > > powers off machine. But if I leave the same command in crontab entry it(machine) does not poweroff. What could be preventing the machine from powering off? What should I try? I know that I can become superuser and add a crontab as superuser(root) and machine will shutdown, but how can I do it without being root? It used to work before via crontab, it did not 2 or three releases ago, now it seems to work from terminal, but not from crontab. Any ideas. Running Fedora 22 on machine in question. > > Best Regards, > > > Antonio A.
