Subject: [RULE] User-Shutdown from the iceWM-GUI or with a
script/command



I am looking for a posibility, to allow a regular user to shutdown a
workstation. 

a. shutdown -h is only for root
b. pressing ctrl+alt+del is somehow strange and even does reboot, so
users must find the right moment to power the machine off - nothing I
want a newbee-user to do.

Does anyone know a better solution? What about giving the right to
shutdown the system to normal users? 

Thanks for any input, Ingo.
