I thought you were talking about command line shutdown, but I took a quick look around and found for gdm (xdm & kdm similar), it looks like you could: edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf there are 2 lines referencing shutdown: HaltCommand=/usr/bin/poweroff RebootCommand=/sbin/shutdown -r now You could set them to: HaltCommand=/sbin/shutdown -t 2 -h now RebootCommand=/sbin/shutdown -t 2 -r now As far as any user being allowed to run shutdown, you may want to use âa and a /etc/shutdown.allow file so other users can shutdown, if desired. (try "man shutdown" from a text window) Note, I have not tried this, but it looks like it would work. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
