Hi everyone,
i want to shutdown my server when i press the power button, also
if the loginscreen is shown.
If a user is logged in, it works (but have to wait for 60sec before shutdown starts).
Is there any way to shutdown on press when i am at the login screen?
(I have no extra monitor for the server and at the moment i am doing shutdown
via Remote which works but therefore i always need a connected client).
Does anyone have an idea what i can do?

That can be dangerous if others have physical access to the server.
/Anyone/ could shut it down!

You don’t always need a connected client, you just need access to a
computer that has SSH installed on it. If you use SSH (PuTTY if you do
it from a Windows Workstation) just login to your server and enter (as
root): shutdown -h now
If you have a monitor near your server that is used on another
computer, you could attach a KVM switch to the two machines and share
the keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
