disable shutdown/suspend if there is other user logged in via ssh
- by Denwerko
I remember that in versions of ubuntu around 9.04 was possible to disable user to shutdown ( and maybe suspend too ) system if there was other user logged in.Something like policykit or similar.
Is it possible to do in 11.04 ?
Thanks
edit:
if someone needs ( for own risk ), little change in /usr/lib/pm-utils/bin/pm-action will allow user to suspend machine if he is only user logged in or when user will run sudo pm-suspend. Probably not best piece of code, but for now works.

Question still stands, is it possible to forbid shutdown or suspend when there is more than one user logged in ( without rewriting system file )?
