Hello folks
I've got a Debian server sitting in an office near some desktop
computers, so occasionally people press the power button on the server
by mistake, and it turns itself off.
To avoid that, I've tweaked /etc/acpi/powerbtn-acpi-support.sh, and now
it ignores the power button.
But that leaves no easy way to turn off the (headless) server other than
holding the power button for four seconds, which doesn't do the filing
system any good, or logging in via ssh and running a shutdown command
(which is inconvenient in this case).
I could probably write a script attached to acpi that detects if the
button has been pressed three times in quick succession, or something
similar.
Before I do that, does anyone know of a similar solution that already
exists?
cheers
Chris
