Can someone suggest a way to warn the console user that I'm about to reboot
the machine? Write, talk or shutdown are great ONLY IF s/he has Terminal 
running.
 
I've tried using Alert from ShellPanels, but I'm told...
 
    DPS client library error: Could not form connection, host local host
 
Thanks.
