The method of managing access to higher-level CI commands in MPE is
by capabilities.  I'm not keen on changing it, but would rather
remain consistent.

As should always be the case as today.

For those that do remote management of a system, the ability to shutdown
and restart the box using this method offers advantages over trying
to locate an individual and walk them through the process.

I do think that having a confirmation step associated with the CI-based
shutdown prompt would be helpful in preventing possibly mistakes.  The same
isn't really needed when doing this via a CNTL-A on the console as this
method is a little more obvious (with the location restruction and use of
the cntrl-A key sequence) and less prone to the same type of mistake.
