Comment (by Peter Bennett):

 Personally, I do this with tests in the pre-shutdown check script for
 various conditions, including any user logged in apart from my tv-watching
 user. That way, for example, if I am logged in to the master backend via
 ssh it will not shut down. Other conditions are also tested, like for
 users accessing mythweb.

 However - if you want it to be done from the frontend menu - that can also
 be achieved without any code changes. You can customize your menu theme
 with additional options and use the "EXEC someprogram" action to set a
 file that is checked in pre-shutdown or to call the mythshutdown --lock,
 whichever way you want to do it. see
