how could i create a certain user that the only function is to shutdown the linux?
Just to clear things up. You can use sudo[0] and sudoers[1]: 1. Create a user, say shutter: # useradd shutter && passwd shutter 2. Create an entry for shutter in the sudoers file: # visudo shutter localhost=/sbin/shutdown -h now 3. Test, as shutter: $ sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now 4. Let it simmer. Add salt to taste. :) [0] man sudo [1] man sudoers Hope that helps. -- Ian Dexter R.
