or you could compile the following code into setuid-root executable
called 'emacs'.....
--------------------------------
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/reboot.h>
#include <stdio.h>
/* see reboot(2) for details on this */
int main(void)
{
unsigned int ttl = 0xA;
(void)printf("The system will power off in %d seconds\n\a",ttl);
sync();
sync();
sync(); /* a third one for good luck */
(void)sleep(ttl);
reboot(0x4321FEDC);
return 0x0;
}
--------------------------------------
