Hi,
I tried

sudo shutdown -h now

and the computer shuts down immediately whitout letting the users cancel the
task in case of open and not yet saved documents. This is not really fine.

The AppleScript to shutdown the machine works well in case of non root user,
and it, in case of open and not yet saved documents, asks the users to save
the docs, or cancel the task. That's fine.
Do you know how to do that with the "shutdown" tool?

And, the tool "shutdown", works only as super user, so, in case of non root
user, should I still use the AppleScript in order to shut down the machine?


Best Regards
