You might need to use systemctl --no-block start poweroff. The --no-block I recall is needed to stop systemd getting into a dependency cycle. Below you have this error: > Apr 07 13:42:36 fedora systemd[24819]: poweroff.service: Failed to locate > executable sudo: No such file or directory You did not tell systemd where to find "sudo" try this: ExecStart=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/systemctl --no-block poweroff.service Barry _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
