...Idiotic, stupid pranks like this piss me off. Now, rigging the copier in the school library to make free copies? Awesome.

So will an instructable on doing that be coming???

Eh, it involves a paper clip and older copier machines with the coin box separate from the actual machine... You just jump two of the pins on the cable and it thinks you constantly adding coins. I don't have time to make an instructable, unfortunately. I think there is an old 'ible on the topic though.

Ah, what a shame. All our copiers are activated by our ID cards. However, I'm sure there would be a way to add credit to the card. Time to get me a smartcard reader.

Just in case anyone is interested in getting it to work, the command is: shutdown -s -f -t 10 -c "Message Goes Here" You can replace the -s with -r if you want the system to restart rather than shutdown.
