Do you have a /etc/acpi/poweroff.sh > script? No, I have the very same powerbtn.sh as you, and it's called when I initiate the power-button 'event'. At this point, I'm not sure what to suggest.

I know, I'm just grasping at straws at this point. Sorry, Patrick -- Patrick Wiseman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux user #17943 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
