The lockscreen allows you to switch users and unlock.Is it possible to add an option to have it reboot or shutdown?
The best way to learn from it is break it OS's (is there a plural for OS?) included.

I suppose you are old enough to know...
Holding down Alt and SysRq (which is the Print Screen key) while slowly typing REISUB will get you safely restarted. REISUO will do a shutdown rather than a restart.

- R: Switch the keyboard from raw mode to XLATE mode
E: Send the SIGTERM signal to all processes except init
I: Send the SIGKILL signal to all processes except init
S: Sync all mounted filesystems
U: Remount all mounted filesystems in read-only mode
B: Immediately reboot the system, without unmounting partitions or syncing

Well thanks for the response but you should have really left out the "I suppose you are old enough to know" it comes off as very snarky and condescending.

Yes but you can pretty much reboot a locked machine by clicking switch users and then you can get to a power menu and reboot and shutdown.In a multi-user multi-machine environment, it is extremely rude to break into a screen-locked machine, and co$tly too if something important is being simulated or compiled. Don't expect a GUI button for this any time soon.

I am sorry. When I read it I hear Black Adder saying it, but that doesn't show up very well.
