i'd like to write some lines of script in the /etc/rc.0 and let it detect some
conditions, if not hold, i wanna cancel the shutdow procedure by 'exit
non-zero'. but i found this idea simply does _not_ work.

is there any legel way to implement this?

I solved this problem by creating a script named shutdown. I put this script in
a bin folder, which is searched before /sbin/. No each time I like to get the
system down, I just call shutdown and performs the necessary checks. Afterwards
it calls shutdown -h now. However, this solution does not work, if the user
presses Ctrl+Alt+Del.

The file /etc/inittab controls what program is invoked when Ctrl+Alt+Del
is performed. You should be able to edit /etc/inittab so that your
shutdown script is invoked instead of /sbin/shutdown.

Oh yeah, that's true, so I can directly put the call there!
