Hello: I have been unable to discover this answer for myself. If I missed this somewhere, sorry for bothering the list.
Anyway, I would like to have the system confirm a shutdown or reboot before actually doing it. I could do something like rename the shutdown/reboot/halt commands, and then write a script to ask for conformation before shutting down/etc; but, I seems like the cleanest solution would be to run a script from rc.shutdown to ask for conformation. However, I can't figure out how to direct output/input from a script run in rc.shutdown to the user's terminal (ssh connection, xterm, console) that started the shutdown/reboot/halt process. Anything I put in rc.shutdown is displayed directly to the console. I also don't see an obvious environment variable that I can use to reliably redirect output. What am I missing? Thanks
