11 yeah, that's one of the cases I was thinking of.10 greycat: There are, most GUIs allow a user to shutdown/reboot.9 FTR: /sbin/shutdown is from systemd-sysv.There are probably facilities for non-root users to be allowed to request a system shutdown/reboot. 8 I don't even think that's strictly accurate any more.7 'This failed, that failed, and you are not root.'.

6 Actually, it would be great if it returned 'you must be root', but I don't remember which program actually does that.

1 They may never change it, but it's reasonable to ask.

0 It's reasonable to expect that systemd would reject the message, and the /sbin/shutdown client program would report an error.
