===Proposed Solutions and Ideas=== To mitigate risks and improve the ease and reliability of safe shutdowns, several ideas have been discussed: * '''Setuid Script:''' Ratsby proposed creating a safe-shutdown script with the `setuid` bit set. This would allow users with appropriate permissions (e.g., `r-x`) to execute the script with the privileges of the script's owner (e.g., root), enabling a safe shutdown without requiring full administrative access. Ampdot acknowledged this as a "good idea". * '''Systemd Integration:''' Ampdot referenced `Systemd/Timers` as a potential tool for managing system services and scripts, and even offered to write a systemd file, suggesting a path for system-level automation of shutdown processes. * '''Integrated Shutdown Across Machines:''' The idea of including a command within Elysium's safe-shutdown script to "tell Arcweld to safely shut down" reflects a desire for a more coordinated shutdown process across interconnected machines.
