I am writing a shell script that requires sudo so I can hibernate my
machine, as package hibernate has a bug that disallows its useage. When
I go to change the permissions using visido to allow no password, and
access to the /sys/power/state file I still get no permission errors. I
even have set /sys/power/* to allow the user that whole directory. This
will be in shell script, so I have the NOPASSWD option set on
the /etc/sudoers line. Anyone have an idea to get this working, or is
this a bug in the sudo package?

I want to use hibernate without having to type the root password
everytime.

It would be nice to post your sudoers file
