I think what you are looking for is the command/utitily 'sudo'. Most
systems can make use of this tool.

How to shutdown when not root user

Some UNIX systems provide command asroot which enables non-root users to
shutdown the system. But on Digital UNIX asroot does not exist. Does anyone
know how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance

Gary:

See if you have the "sudo" command.  Its functionality is similar to
asroot.

1. How to shutdown when not root user

Some UNIX systems provide command asroot which enables non-root users to
shutdown the system. But on Digital UNIX asroot does not exist. Does anyone
know how to provide a user with shutdown authorisation, or perhaps setting
user ID?

Thanks in advance
