How can u prevent somebody from shutting down ur computer ...
i know u may do it with the command "shutdown -a"
to abort the operation..
but wut if the attacker... set the time to "0 sec" and then u will not have the time to stop the operation..
any ideas on how to prevent this before it happens or to block a remote command?
Thanks in adavanced~!

Few things:
1. Don't give people access to your machine.
2. Keep all services up to date, including service patches.

The most effective way to protect yourself against someone using shutdown -a :

1. Pretend to be doing something really important and wait for the [censored] to use the shutdown -a

2. After you see they�ve done it take a quick look at everyone in the lab and see who is looking at you or who�s laughing.

3. Take the keyboard (preferably some really heavy old IBM keyboard), go over there and bash their [censored] teeth out with the keyboard while screaming : NO ONE SHUTS DOWN MY COMPUTER WHILE I WORK, [censored] !

This will ensure that the shutdown -a trick will never happen to you again. If you get arrested claim temporary insanity.
