How to prompt user to manually shutdown system

[kalzoubi]

Hi,

I am using "init 0" command to shutdown the system within my code. How can I modify this command (or other commands) to prompt the user to power off the system manually once it is safe to do so.

Thanks.

I tried to solve the problem by adding the following script in /etc/init.d, then creating two symbolic links with name K99scriptname to it in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d. However, the script is not being executed at shutdown.

#!/bin/sh
clear
echo "============================================= =="
echo "=== ==="
echo "=== Please turn off the power now ! ==="
echo "=== ==="
echo "============================================= =="
while :
do
sleep 1
done

try putting your script in /usr/lib/systemd/system-shutdown/
