shutting down as user

[safknw]

I'm building an application in which there is a button to shutdown the system.
I'm using suse 10.0 , which doesn't allow to shutdown (poweroff command) the system in user mode.
So how can I shutdown machin as normal user when shutdown button clicked.

If you use KDE you can take advantage of the dcop interface.

How I can use dcop interface.

If you don't want to have KDE dependencies, then just call a program called "dcop" and pass it appropriate parametres. You can use kdcop to find proper object, method and params. The method you're looking for is called "logout" and resides in "ksmserver" object.

Pls give link dcop documentation.

dcop --help should be sufficient as well.
