I'm trying to find out what I need to do to get a Linux box to cleanly shutdown in response to an IPMI command (over a network)
The ipmitool man page suggests that I need to use the 'power soft' command - and says the OS needs "support for ACPI and some sort of daemon watching for events for this soft power to work" I tried using acpid (which I assume is the daemon mentioned?) but I can't get it to respond to the 'power soft' command - so I assume I'm missing something (a kernel module?) on the machines I'm trying to shutdown ... Does anyone know what is required for this to work?
