First, there's consolehelper - see the man page.
Next, do you want them to be able to do it *while* they're already logged in,
or just to be able to walk up and reboot it. For the latter, the trivial
answer is, of course, <ctrl><alt><del>, while if it's not the actual console,
then I normally create a user (if there's not one already there, created in
the RH install) name shutdown or reboot, and instead of a shell, they have
/usr/bin/shutdown, or /usr/bin/reboot, so that just by logging in, that
command is run.

I'm sorry, but your English comes out looking like you ran it through
babelfish. What is the script supposed to do, and what do you mean when you
say that it "throws a combination of keys"?
