One common way people do this is to add a "shutdown" user whose password is known to operations staff and whose shell is /sbin/shutdown (or wherever your distro hides it). Another approach is to use sudo to give the operators access to the shutdown command. This one is preferable in many ways because each operator has their own account so you know who shut it down and who to yell at 8) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
