[systemd-devel] Run reboot as normal user

Hello,

I want to run reboot as normal user using the following command:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --reply-timeout=2000 --type=method_call
--dest=org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1
org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Reboot boolean:false

but I got a Permission denied error.

I checked that verify_shutdown_creds (in logind-dbus.c) calls
bus_verify_polkit_async, could it be the reason why I got permission denied
error while polkit is not installed?

I don't want to use Polkit or sudo, is there any solution ?

Best regards,
Mohamed Ali
