Perhaps a silly question, but is it too late at this stage of the game to try logging S5 events to syslog before dying? I agree with Stephen,
logging 'shutdown by powerbutton' surely beats what might otherwise
resemble a spontaneous reboot?  Or is something already logged here?

I'm not resisting this, but I'm having trouble seeing the importance.
What happens differently than if someone hits CTRL-ALT-DEL on a virtual
console?

Well, I'd like to get a one-line message saying "rebooted by CTRL-ALT- DEL" versus "shutdown by powerbutton". Other systems would log a one- liner like "system rebooted by /etc/shutdown -i 6: _MESSAGE_"....
