Yes sir this is also under my consideration, I know it's kind of crazy, but let me try it. I want also to change the service command name, and the reboot command, and any other command could effect the system.

In other word, I want to keep the system as is, but in the same time I wanna give different names for the services and any command under /sbin directory.
I hope that everybody here understand my point, I do highly respect iptables and SELinux as a security systems for sure, but I want to add more security to the system, changing all the effective commands (and paths if available Smilie

).

On the other hand, what if I want to run a special service in a specific time in my system and I don't want anybody knows what this service do (like monitoring service for bad users or admins), and I want in the same time change this service name to a misleading name, no one can discover this service, and that's why I want am alternative service instead of crond (see my other topic in this forum), to schedule this service in the dark Smilie

. This is for sure should be done with filtering any log files that made by this.
The thing that I do believe with, is Linux doable, and can do it. Any suggestions and criticizes are most welcomed.

systemd-halt.service

SYSTEMD-HALT.SERVICE(8) 				       systemd-halt.service					   SYSTEMD-HALT.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-halt.service, systemd-poweroff.service, systemd-reboot.service, systemd-kexec.service, systemd-shutdown - System shutdown logic

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-halt.service

       systemd-poweroff.service

       systemd-reboot.service

       systemd-kexec.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown

       /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-halt.service is a system service that is pulled in by halt.target and is responsible for the actual system halt. Similarly,
       systemd-poweroff.service is pulled in by poweroff.target, systemd-reboot.service by reboot.target and systemd-kexec.service by kexec.target
       to execute the respective actions.

       When these services are run, they ensure that PID 1 is replaced by the /lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown tool which is then responsible for the
       actual shutdown. Before shutting down, this binary will try to unmount all remaining file systems, disable all remaining swap devices,
       detach all remaining storage devices and kill all remaining processes.

       It is necessary to have this code in a separate binary because otherwise rebooting after an upgrade might be broken -- the running PID 1
       could still depend on libraries which are not available any more, thus keeping the file system busy, which then cannot be re-mounted
       read-only.

       Immediately before executing the actual system halt/poweroff/reboot/kexec systemd-shutdown will run all executables in
       /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/ and pass one arguments to them: either "halt", "poweroff", "reboot" or "kexec", depending on the chosen
       action. All executables in this directory are executed in parallel, and execution of the action is not continued before all executables
       finished.

       Note that systemd-halt.service (and the related units) should never be executed directly. Instead, trigger system shutdown with a command
       such as "systemctl halt" or suchlike.
