As @Zelda mentioned the messages are hardcoded. If you want to change it beyond amending the message with additional bits:
You'll need to recompile
shutdown
, creating your own executable that includes the customized message.For example, here's a sample source file, shutdown.c. Lines such as these would need to be changed, and the .c files would need to be rebuilt.
