Protect shutdown/reboot

I have domiticz running on a server. Under the Settings menu, I can shutdown and reboot the system. This is, of course, not desired for a server.
Can I somehow protect these menu items from being triggered by accident?

I can set Light/Switch Protection but there's no such thing for Shutdown/Reboot.

If you setup users only an admin can shutdown/reboot the server. Uses and viewers cannot.

Hi, @sciurius,

Perhaps this solution is also for you:

Thanks, @FireWizard. This may be a better approach.

(Although I agree with one of the last posters who suggest '[to] change the functionality of the Shutdown system so that it just stops the Domoticz service rather than shutdown the entire Pi.')

All those commands (reboot / shutdown etc...) are symlinks to /sbin/systemctl
Just delete the symlinks or point the symlinks to something else and in the future use

Code: Select all

/sbin/systemctl reboot
/sbin/systemctl shutdown
See

Code: Select all

/sbin/systemctl --help
