You might also consider running the acpid daemon
<http://acpid.sourceforge.net/>, its a daemon which runs and monitors
various ACPI related events. For example now when you press the power off
button, the kernel generates a ACPI event and acpid can be configured to
execute "/sbin/shutdown -h now" when it (acpid) detects the event.

You might want to check acpid out, there is also a script which many
notebook users use whereby the script detects when the battery level is
low and at a predetermined level (shall we say 5% of power leff) it
automatically shutsdown the computer, otherwise you will have to fsck your 
computer when it boots up.
