I also have this script as /usr/local/sbin/[reboot|halt|shutdown|poweroff]

#!/bin/bash
/usr/games/cowsay "This is a server.  Not your local test unit or router.  Are you sure you want to `basename $0` $HOSTNAME?"
sleep 1
echo ""
echo "If so please use /sbin/`basename $0` explicitly."

Helps avoid embarrassing reboots of things you might ssh to once in a while.

Certainly seems to get people's attention.
