Short answer: don't. You could probably create a custom selinux policy that allowed it but you'd be opening your system up to more security issues. If it were me, I'd have the cgi drop a file in a known location, and have an external process (possibly started through cron) monitor the file, then run shutdown conditionally. -- Jonathan Billings
