Openbox keyboard shortcut question

I'm trying to setup a keyboard shortcut to quickly shutdown crunchbang.

The combo I want is Ctrl-Super-S. I added the following to rc.xml, so it looks like:

    <keybind key="W-A-Right">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>cb-aerosnap --right</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    
    <!-- Joel's custom key bindings -->
	<keybind key="C-W-s">
	  <action name="Execute">
		<command>'/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now'</command>
	  </action>
	</keybind>
  </keyboard>

When I press the combo, I get a popup, stating "Openbox: Failed to execute child process '/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now' (No such file or directory). I've already given permissions in sudo, to my username, to shutdown without a password. Invoking the same command from a terminal works fine.

What seems to be the mistake?

Re: Openbox keyboard shortcut question

Isn't the command just this?

sudo shutdown -h now

No need to go to the /sbin or /usr/bin directory at all

That was the first format I tried. It had the same error message. I tried solving it by using the full path (as required by cron).

Re: Openbox keyboard shortcut question

Ah. Could try this:

gksudo shutdown -h now

(gksudo displays a graphical password input box, instead of opening a terminal)

or

terminator --command="sudo shutdown -h now"
