Yes, that can get a bit annoying. You can make shell scripts setuid, but 
only by making the interpreter /bin/bash  setuid!

This would be a terrible idea: it would make all bash scripts run as root.

Likewise, setuid in python and php is impossible. It used to be doable 
in perl, but the excellent perl-suid module was unfortunately deprecated 
by upstream.

You either have to use sudo, or create a tiny wrapper in C.



BTW, I wouldn't necessarily advise suspend on lid-close: there are 
sometimes times when you want to leave the system running with the lid 
closed. I tend to explicitly use Fn-F4 for suspend. Or at least set 
suspend to only occur on battery.

Best wishes,

Richard
