Here's my MOO 1.8.0 version of implementing the idea...

;add_property($server_options, "protect_shutdown", 1, {player, "r"})
;add_verb(#0, {player, "rdx", "bf_shutdown"}, {"this","none","this"})
.program #0:bf_shutdown
set_task_perms((cp = caller_perms()) == #110 ? #2 | cp);
return shutdown(@args);
.

As far as I know, the code here will work in LambdaMOO version 1.8.0.
You will probably still want to make a nice way to do this (so that #110
or whoever the person is can just type '@shutdown Sorry, gotta shutdown.',
but then why even bother with this stuff?  Just make that verb have
wizard permissions and check for a person with appropriate permissions).
