Shutting Ubuntu down with Lirc?

Yo,

Updated my Daddies Ubuntu Boxee box

The Microsoft Mce Remote was easy to setup but what I would like the remote to do is shutdown the compter by pressing a button on the remote.

Anyone know how to do this?

I know the code of the button press, I got this from irw.

Yeh that looks like what I need.

For the sudoers for shutdown it would be something like this:

Code:

user ALL=NOPASSWD: shutdown -h now

Got all the remote working with the shutdown irexec file, but can't seem to get irexec to auto start in the GUI.

Would you know where to find an innit script?

My linux knowledge still isn't good enough to create my own

The box runs Ubuntu 10.10 32bit
