Usually. If you have ACPI enabled in the kernel, and you install the acpid daemon, acpid monitors /proc/acpi/events and, by default, shuts the system down with your standard shutdown sequence on a short button press (ie, less than 4 seconds). ACPI doesn't do this itself, it just sends events and lets something else choose how to handle them. Note, the acpid script may need to be tweaked, as it doesn't necessarily know the correct names of the button events. In future, please address questions like this to the acpi-support-5NWGOfrQmneRv+LV9MX5uipxlwaOVQ5f@public.gmane.org list. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
