Under Linux i linked /sbin/shutdown to /bin/shutdown
So, if your privileged program doesnt also need access to privileged files, at least under linux, that would be a "solution". But then again, these programs should have landed in sbin for a reason. Also i am not sure this applies to freebsd

You linked that because your user shell's profile has no /sbin by default in its path. You should instead set a correct path for your administrative users. The fact is the shutdown command that you have installed on your linux is probably systemd that allow administrative users to trigger the shutdown without calling it as root. We're not in such case. sbin stands for system binaries, and they preferably better staying there.
Jakob
Oof. I could call it as root and with sudo, but not as normal user. I concluded 'sbin surely stands for super user binaries, why not try if it works'. Tried, and felt assured in my assumption. In german we say 'probieren geht über studieren' - apparenrly thats not always the case 😄
Thank you very much for the correction!
XS
no problem
XS
theorically, all binaries in /sbin are also statically linked and shall stay in /, so in case of system maintenance they can be ran without potentially missing dynamic libraries
XS
But not sure how modern distros knows and respect that... xD

Dang,
I added this in my syslog conf
!slapd
*.* @10.40.0.32
and here’s the result
Logging to FORW syslog-ldap.mydomain:514
lsent/totalsize: -1/76
sendto: Invalid argument
logmsg: pri 53, flags 0, from ds3-fbsd13, msg sendto: Invalid argument
Fortunately I found the trouble… I had to do a freebsd-update, install the updates and reboot.
stéphane T
So yeah… bug in the default install

Why you are using zenity?
I am developing the tool for Mac
It is light and hassle free and I do not know Swift programming

Just use a case statement for the zenity's call output.

The case is used for values with a certain number, but take a look at this code

open /Users/$USER/Parallels/"$(ls -1 /Users/$USER/Parallels/ | awk "NR==$num {print}" )"

num=$(zenity [...])
It did not work properly
I was going to run the function when one of the menu items is clicked
XS
Zenity shall return the selected item once the OK button is pressed.

I want to define a condition that something special happens when the ok button is clicked

Ugh... My eyes. You're even defining twice the same list. Why not just piping your items to zenity ? You don't need "main_operations" or whatever. Once the OK button is pressed, the process will return 0, not before, then the selection put to stdout.

You dont need internet to install fbsd. Unless you re using mini image.
siduck
but i need it after the installation, the installer doesnt show any wlan0 option so my wifi card isnt supported?
Mmmm

As i said finish installation first. Then read man re. Either you need to recompile the kernel or add somethinng in /boot/loader.conf to load your wifi card.
siduck
oh no :l , nvm it then

if ya want wifi unplug the wire and go back

I have artix linux installed now and got exams on tuesday so, if the wifi doesnt work after the bsdinstallation then im doomed! i'd have to spend hours on setting up my old artix setup so i need to be 100% sure that freebsd works
