Shutdown Privileges

[HP-UX 11.31]

Hello All,

I have to provide privileges to shutdown HP-Unix (11.31) servers to our client but without giving root password.
Kindly give your advise on this how to do that.

Is it possible through sudo?

Thanks,
Ranjeet

yeh you can do pretty easily with sudo,
man sudo for options.

but why you want to give shutdowm access to client.

Hi Ranjeet,

An other option is to add a user to the /etc/shutdown.allow file.
