It's been years that I use the following:

        [submenu] (Exit-Menu) {}
                [exec] (Lock) {xlock}
                [exit] (Logout)
!               [exec] (Suspend-Disk) {sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo
acpitool -S && sudo ifup eth0}
                [exec] (Suspend-Disk) {sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon
-a && sudo acpitool -S}
                [exec] (Suspend-Mem) {sudo acpitool -s}
!               [exec] (Reboot) {sudo reboot}
                [exec] (Reboot) {sudo shutdown -r now "Sutdown:
Rebooting now..."}
!               [exec] (Shutdown) {sudo halt}
                [exec] (Shutdown) {sudo shutdown -h -P now "Shutdown:
Shuting down now..."}
        [end]

Of course I have reboot, halt and shutdown as entries in /etc/sudoers
for me so I don't have to provide password, :-)
