However looking at the files, I'm not sure we really want them.
The script handles almost nothing:
- if powersaved is running, it doesn't do anything
- if KDE is running, it unlog people ?! (not sure here, this probably opens
a logout dialog where the user can choose to shutdown)
- otherwise it does a direct shutdown
In my opinion, there is more important stuff about it.
1. It does a clean shutdown without need of a console, which is very
useful in server environment.
2. There are two different things, the fact that powerbtn event is
handled somehow and the way how is it handled. The first point is under
discussion, not the second (yet :).
3. If it is not there, one of the typical (present on almost every
modern computer system) ACPI event remains unhandled by default.
IDK, maybe this handler really should go with acpid package, so a server
installation can avoid that many acpi-support's dependencies, and acpid
package will provide a nice example about how the handlers works (was
useful for me at least once). And people who wants more sophisticated
handling may install acpi-support.
Saludos.
