I have set it up that when I press the power button once, it does a
killall chvt , twice does attempt to kill X and a third time does a reboot.
This is the script I use for that:
/etc/acpi/power.sh:
#!/bin/sh
logger "ACPID: power button pressed!"
if [ -e /tmp/power1 ] ; then
if [ -e /tmp/power2 ] ; then
beep -n -n
logger "ACPID: This is the third press."
shutdown -fh now
else
beep -n
logger "ACPID: This is the second press."
touch /tmp/power2
killall -9 X
fi
else
beep
logger "ACPID: This is the first press."
touch /tmp/power1
chvt 1
fi
exit 0
(note that the script could be improved by using "case", but this is
probably more shell agnostic, which is a Good Thing) As you can see,
over ACPI button events you can do almost everything you want, very cool.
