Mike Kershaw of Marist College wrote a program that will "sit" on the VM console of a guest and wait for the secondary operator to send it a "shutdown" command. You can find it at http://reason.marist.edu/patches/bootshell-1.3.cc. Malcolm Beattie came up with a way to add an external interrupt handler to trigger the "ctlaltdel" event in /etc/inittab. He described it at http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvtype?LINUX-VM.19899 but I'm not aware of anyone who has actually implemented it. You could be the first! :)

What is everyone using to shutdown a large number of servers without signing onto each one. I've played around using rexec but not sure if this is the best method ... Thanks - Dan
