without attaching a keyboard to my server, I could press the power off button and expect the linux to gracefully run `poweroff -n`, just like

Just 2 days ago, I needed to shutdown my linux server in a hurry (fire in my building's ilft control room). well, still no life service until now for those living on the 20th floor. hoho...

Huh? The power button isn't part of the keyboard, so no. I dont' understand what you're trying to do anyway.


If you can find a way to integrate the power switch into the operating system it would work, however you're asking it to essentially do a graceful shutdown *after* pulling the power cord from it. Kinda like sending out an email to let everyone know the mail server is down. After the fact is too late.

Dear Lord:
I just want *___one* one-armed manager so I never have to hear "On
