This line was not there initially, but I > added it (commented) and again run the command: If you added the line after a # mark, it probably isn't being seen as a command. Though I have to admit I'm treading on unfamiliar territory, here, and I'm looking at how things seem like they need to be done, rather than outlining what I've already done, myself. You might want to try some Google searching: http://www.google.com.au/search?&q=preventing+users+rebooting There's probably already some sort of security policy that can be set to deny some/all users to reboot, that you just need to enable. And there's probably two ways of masking out this interrupt, one for GUI users, and another for text console users. However, you need to consider that if you take away users ability to reboot, they may just do it in some other way. Such as hitting the reset button on the computer case, or the power switch. So you'd need to disconnect them. But then how do you manage errant hardware, yourself? If you do disable rebooting, you'd want some sort of warning to appear, when they tried, letting them know that rebooting has been disabled, because the system *needs* to be left running (or something similar). So, hopefully, they stop trying rather than try something else. You won't stop the people who don't give a damn, but you might stop someone who's not trying to be a nuisance. > issuing: > > [root@localhost ~]# wget http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRpeEdMmmQ0 > > saves the following file: > > watch?v=pRpeEdMmmQ0 > > in the directory from where the command was issued but NOT the video. That would be because an address like that one, isn't to just some video file to be played. It's a web page, and that web page includes all sorts of other things, that causes the page to include multimedia content in it. All you've done is download the page. If you look at the page code, you may find a reference to the file that you want to download. But various pages will use techniques that load media through something else, and you'll only be able to get the thing in the middle, rather than the file that you want. There are "download helper" plug-ins that you can install in the Firefox web browser, and for other browsers, too, that let you save content from some sites, such as YouTube. There's one that's actually called "DownloadHelper" which does that, as well as offering to convert downloaded media to other formats that are easier to play back. For sites that do actually directly refer to the media you want within the webpage, there are options with wget to get the page PLUS things referred to in the page. See the wget man file, look for the -p option.
