Hi all,

When I was reading the ACPI = specification, I found=20 the following information,

The=20 ACPI specification also allows that = if the=20 user presses the power button for more than four seconds while the = system is in=20 the working state, a hardware event is generated and the system will = transition=20 to the soft-off state. This hardware event is called a power button = override. In=20 reaction to the power button override event, the hardware clears the = power=20 button status bit (PWRBTN_STS).

I would=20 like to know, whether this Power button override feature is available in = the=20 Linux ACPI implementation. If it is implemented, where can = I find them=20 and how to use it?

"Ignore=20 the Attachment"

Thanks=20 in advance,

Siva
