I'm looking to trap the signal from the power button on many modern ATX/NLX
motherboards (I think they might call it 'soft power' or something), and use it
to do something useful. For example -
a) A server might do a uniform shutdown without plugging in a keyboard to do a
shutdown.
b) A client might suspend and power down so that a reboot isn't required to
carry on working.
c) Even better - a combination of the two - quick press to suspend, two second
press to shutdown.
Has someone already done work on something like this, or does anyone have
suggestions as to a good starting point?
