I'm trying to get the machine to go to sleep with systemctl suspend, however every time I try to do this over an SSH session it asks for the password twice, one to set a wall message and another to actually suspend the system If I run this command directly from the system terminal it does not require any authentication Login in SSH is done with the same user that I use in the system

Is this something I need to configure in sudoers? Anything I need to change?

Maybe run sudo systemctl suspend instead of systemctl suspend – muru Jul 02 '18 at 16:23
Probably related How can I make shutdown not require admin password? (but in this case it's possibly the allow_inactive field that needs to be modified) – steeldriver Jul 02 '18 at 16:37
Running with sudo still asks for a password, I do not need any authentication when running the command directly on the terminal – Mario Gomez Jul 02 '18 at 18:28
Offered solution points to a file not present on 18.04 – Mario Gomez Jul 02 '18 at 18:29
@MarioGomez but not two, right? – muru Jul 02 '18 at 20:59
@muru Yes, but the idea is no prompts for password – Mario Gomez Jul 02 '18 at 23:30
Sure, but the process for setting no password rules for sudoers is well documented and hasn't changed – muru Jul 02 '18 at 23:51
