rpower softoff produces an ACPI power button event (well at least it does on the servers I know). It is then up to however the OS is configured to respond to a power button event.. acpid as a common central point for fielding those events under most linux setups, but it isn't the only setup. The OS matters most here. Note this is based on Lenovo/IBM equipment where softoff doesn't do anything but ask OS to shut down.

Needless to say, this came as something of a surprise to me. Has anyone any ideas what caused this?
