hello

i've an old pc at home as running rh 7.0 acting as an internet gateway.
it's always running but sometimes it needs to be shut down for
housekeeping. to do that, you know, we should login as root and type the
famous shutdown -h now' command, but it's somewhat complicated for somebody
who doesn't care about linux and fsck ;-)

i'd like to allow a single keystoke to do that (shutdown...) even without
being logged in. any idea ???

BTW i'd also like to send another message (or better some beeps) instead of
the last 'power down', so that the user would just have to push on a key,
wait for a serie of beeps, turn power off, even without a screen connected.
any more idea ???

tia

Bien sûr que je suis perfectionniste !
Mais ne pourrais-je pas l'être mieux ?
