### 5.17. System Action Dialog

This is the login/logout form with the possibilities to reboot or shutdown the system, or change X session. It has also options for suspend/sleep (S3), hybrid suspend, and hibernation of the system. Of course, reboot, shutdown, suspend, hybrid suspend and hibernate will work for a ordinary user only if system is configured with authorizations for a user to perform such actions. Examples of this can be systemd(1) on Linux which recognizes local user, or system with sudo(8) entries are configured to do so. While System Action Dialog is active, root cursor changes to line-crossed cursor which is dismissed after the action is performed or dialog action dismissed. Not all of this actions are possible on all systems, but with the `$NSCDE_TOOLSDIR/acpimgr` wrapper, Linux with pm-utils, Linux without pm-utils but with systemd(1) and FreeBSD with acpiconf(8) are supported in this moment.
