I think Leonardo wants to trigger 'shutdown -h now's from a physical button.
I posted earlier about using kexec to load an acpi-enabled kernel, which will then power down the machine at the end of the shutdown sequence. I assume he's trying to do that. For the record, killing power to the PC without shutting Linux down is asking for trouble. Eventually, filesystem corruption will cause unexpected behavior or lost data.

If you hold the power off button down on the motherboard, the PC will not power off?? I haven't seen any issues with that on the PCs I have loaded with EMC2. The power button on the PCs I think is a function of the PC bios - hold it down for x seconds and it will kill the PC regardless of any software running on it. If I shutdown EMC2, the PC still stays powered up and I have to turn the PC off. Would it make sense to shutdown EMC2 with the mouse and then kill the PC via a power disconnect via the machine controls? That is what I am planning on doing. It sounds like you are doing a lot of work trying to get this resolved. Or perhaps I don't understand the problem still.
