How to disable shutdown warning message

[visionmap]

Hi all,
Need help with disabling the followin message: "Other people are logged
on. Shutting down may cause them to lose data".
It is shown when I try to turn off the computer with power button while
remote desktop user is connected. Since this machine has no local
keyboard or display there's no one to answer this message. What I want
to happen is for orderly, but forceful shutdown to be initiated.

Ideas ?

Disconnect the remote desktop user that is logged on first.

Impossible since the user is, well, *remote* and I'm talking about forced
shutdown of console-less machine by pressing power button.

Ever hear of the phone? It's old technology, but it works! Tell them
to get off first.

Unpractical for a number of unctechnical reasons, and because the user might
be disconnected, but his session still running.
I'm posting this here becasue I really need a technical, not operational
solution - that is gracefully shut the machine down with one button.

Without a keyboard and/or mouse and Monitor, your choices are rather
limited. Get the remoter user to shutdown the computer, and I know that
might not be a practical option either. If you had a keyboard attached,
that would give you more options. You should consider a USB keyboard,
and if space is an issue, all you'd have to do is plug it in at
shutdown, unplug, and then store it, until the next shutdown.
