I am a newbie in Ubuntu. I want to use poweroff in my terminal, for traditional shut down of my computer. First of all, is this correct? Secondly, I am forced to use sudo poweroff and then enter a password. Is there a way to make the poweroff command such that, specifically poweroff command will no longer ask for sudo privilege, just commanding poweroff will work.

Thank you for your support

What is your Ubuntu version? It works by default with 16.04 (or newer, I think). – Melebius May 21 '18 at 15:46
@Melebius It is 18.04 – Ninja Bug May 21 '18 at 15:59
@Melebius As I remember it depends on whether you are the only user that is currently logged in whether you need `sudo` or not. – PerlDuck May 21 '18 at 16:01
@PerlDuck I am the only user, since it is my personal desktop computer. It asks sudo permission and password afterwards. – Ninja Bug May 21 '18 at 16:25
