The power button
When I press the power button on an x86 PC, acpibtn(4) receives the event and shuts down the machine. When I press the power button on my Blade 100 (sparc64), power(4) receives the event and by default ignores it. Only if the machdep.kbdreset sysctl is set to 1 will power(4) proceed to shut down the machine. I don't have a preference either way, but this is inconsistent. Either acpibtn(4) should also be protected by a sysctl, or power(4) shouldn't. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber na...@mips.inka.de

Thanks Peter, that is the case and it looks like the why on the problem. Any pointers on how to get it enabled? Looking through the BIOS settings, there isn't an APM section at all that I can see, this is a 1RU server, so that doesn't really surprise me. Mikel

My /etc/sysctl.conf has the line machdep.kbdreset=1 # permit console CTRL-ALT-DEL to do a nice halt I find that this along with the above option set in /etc/rc.shutdown is a nice way to shutdown the machine by pressing the magic buttons... -Girish

Re: Shutdown with the power button
see /etc/rc.shutdown and set:
powerdown=YES # set to YES for powerdown
Good Luck.

Re: Shutdown with the power button
It probably needs to be enabled in the bios.

Shutdown with the power button
Hi list, Wondering if anyone knows how (or if it is possible) to be able to gracefully power down an OpenBSD box by hitting the power button on the server. Useful when you need someone to power down a system (like in a power failure situation) but there is no console attached. FreeBSD and linux provide what I am talking about, hit the power button and it looks like the equiv of a halt -p - But I don't want to use linux or FreeBSD on these firewall boxes. Not something I would use very often, but two nights ago really needed it. The OpenBSD box ended up having a hard power switch off instead of a clean shutdown. The server in question is a HP DL 360. Thanks, Mikel

It seems you do not have a multi-processor system and I think ACPI is disabled. What works for me is to create a kernel image with APM disabled and ACPI enabled. (see config(8), you can temporarily do this by using the -c option at the boot prompt and type "disable apm", "enable acpi", see boot.conf(5)) If your dmesg shows you: acpibtn0 at acpi0: PWRB you should have a working power button. (also see acpi(4), acpibtn(4))

Re: Shutdown and Powerdown when the power button is pressed
The first thing I would do is look at the BIOS and check whether it still works with an Ubuntu LiveCD. Only then would I start looking at what OpenBSD is doing, starting with a look at dmesg. 2008/8/24 Ajitabh Pandey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > I have a Dell Pentium III 1GHz/512MB running OpenBSD 4.3.

Shutdown and Powerdown when the power button is pressed
Hi, I have a Dell Pentium III 1GHz/512MB running OpenBSD 4.3. I am running the generic kernel. When I press the power button on the front the machine just switches off. I wanted if the power button is pressed then the shutdown is started followed by poweroff (shutdown -hp now). This machine was running Ubuntu sometime back and If I remember correct this used to happen. Any pointers, please?
