Hi everyone!
I use the situations app and have a profile to go completely offline, therefore i want to stop the dalvik machine for the time. But if i try "systemctl stop aliendalvik.service" in Terminal as normal user, i get an "Access denied" Error. So, is there another way stop it from terminal for normal users? For now the only possibility seems to use a terminal command in situations.

If you don't mind using developer mode and install an extra package it can be done, not too complecated You have to install sudo, that should bring in visudo also, you'll need it. Not sure if I had to do it, but maybe you need to it it, run the followingcommand which will open vi to edit the sudoers file, bare with me,
export VISUAL=/bin/vi
visudo
visudo opens the file in vi, search for (or if not found, add) a line which should read something like:
nemo ALL=(ALL)NOPASSWD: ALL
If that line is there, exit vi, type escape followed by :q. If that line is not in the file add it, press shift-A at the end of the file and add that line, quit using escape :wq The user nemo can now execute any command as root by prefixing it with sudo, like so
sudo systemctl stop aliendalvik.service
Hope this helps
Could it be the sudo package from NielDK has a problem with the syntax checking using visudo?
I decided to use chemist's solution because i don't wanted to install an extra "App", if a terminal command also do it and also don't want to give nemo too many rights.
But i has to the set complete path to systemctl:
nemo ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl stop aliendalvik.service
Thanks to all of you! :)

If I am not completely wrong you can do that in the "Settings" app under "Android Support".

Now that we have the ability to easily Start/Stop the service from the settings could it be so that it persists after phone reboot. Or have additional switch within the setting for Starting/Stopping Android-support that would allow the set state to persist after reboot.
