This is a compromise of root privileges, because of some sort of callousness on part of the super user. /sbin/poweroff is normally there with reboot and halt in the /sbin directory. Wonder if this "smart" user has diverted the shutdown command itself. In which case, shut off the box with halt -f (which will bypass shutdown).In case there are active network interfaces, 'halt -i -f' would be a better option. Do the power off portion manually. Incidentally, what does the poweroff command produce ? This rogue script would have to be removed ... check out /sbin for files of recent origin.
