Well, the old answer would be that you need to use sudo to run it, as shutting down is a privileged operation. I suspect that the new answer is that with appropriate policykit/consolekit/etc settings you can probably allow somebody sitting at a physical console to shut down the system, or any logged-in user if you prefer. However, I haven't actually set that up myself. -- Rich
