For many years, i've the following "replacement" for acpid: ---- cut ---- #! /bin/sh [ -d /sys/module/button ] || { modprobe button; sleep 5; } [ -f /proc/acpi/event ] || exit 1 while read x < /proc/acpi/event; do case "$x" in *button/power*) echo " Power down " > /dev/console shutdown -h -P now ;; esac done ---- cut ---- Is it not sufficient for you? If you talk about VMs, I found it is much easier to use Ctrl+Alt+Del from inittab to signal shutdown, and don't bother with acpi at all. For this to work, just change cad action in /etc/inittab to do power down instead of reboot. As for enabling this applet for wheezy, it definitely is not possible at this time because of the freeze.
