Do you need to get root involved? If a hacker can
substitute his reboot_notify for yours, he gets full control.

Any script in rc.local is probably called by root, so
it's best to follow the example of NUT itself and drop to a
non-privileged with something like
<br>
<br>
sudo -u nut /usr/local/bin/reboot_notify

I don't understand. I edited the rc.local script to what you
indicated ( sudo -u nut ...) and now when the Pi reboots I don't get
any messages. I'm afraid I'm too much of a beginner to see what you
mean.<br>
