ask for password when wanting to reboot or shutdown

Question

Using Python I am getting a output as in below format, I need to remove duplicate based on first index value and then convert it into a table format.

Input:

('a','b','c','d')
('a','d','e','f')
('b','j','d','e')

Output:

('a','b','c','d')
('b','j','d','e')

Then Table format

A B C D

a b c d
b j d e

Solution

I don't think this is possible as TeamViewer often run under Administrative privileges. And I have used TeamViewer for quite a while, and the TeamViewer bar has its own Shutdown button, which I believe basically send some commands directly to the OS.

The only thing you might be able to do is to set up TeamViewer to "confirm" everything the person connecting do.

To do this you go under Options - Advanced - Advanced Settings for Connections to this computer.

Access Control -> Custom Settings

Under "Control this Computer" might want to change it "After Confirmation" - 

He can't control unless you give confirmation. He can only connect and view your screen.

and

Lock the local keyboard and mouse "Denied" - so he can't lock you out

and

Control the local TeamViewer "Denied" - so he can't change that setting.

Hopefully that helps. (I haven't personally tested it, but those are the relevant options that I can think of)

These are the details of the processes that take place when any software needs to request the OS to shutdown; homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/… ; Not exactly a solution to your problem but I'm hoping this will give some idea about how to proceed next

I wasn't sure what the shutdown event tracker was, so I tested it and its that window you get when your PC gets back on after you shut it down, asking you why it was shut down. I need something that prevents the computer from terminating. Thanks.

Unfortunately you're probably right about it being impossible. :\ Thanks for your reply.

ah, I am unfamiliar with the software so I didn't know this.
