I define the following in SYSTEM CONFIG:
/*  Class S allows OPERATOR (and only OPERATOR) to issue SHUTDOWN      */
   MODIFY Cmd SHUTDOWN                                    PRIVclass S
   DISABLE Cmd SHUTDOWN

When OPERATOR wants to shut down the system, they must first issue CP
ENABLE COMMAND SHUTDOWN, then issue SHUTDOWN.

Your gun, your bullet, your foot. But first you have to set the safety off.

And then there was the crowd who wanted the same command on all subsystems
so as to make it simpler.  "Why does IBM invent a new command when we
already have a perfectly good 'shutdown'?"

And, no, nothing is going to change at this point.
