Hello, I don't want to hijack your thread, but just as a reference here is my solution with acpid to achieve nearly the same: /etc/acpid/power: event=button/power* action=/sbin/acpishutdown.sh /sbin/acpishutdown.sh: #!/bin/sh if [ -e /tmp/acpibutton ]; then if [ `/bin/ls /tmp/acpibutton -lc --time-style="+%s"|/bin/cut --delemiter=" " --fields 6` -gt `/bin/date --date="20 seconds ago" +%s` ]; then /sbin/shutdown -h now else /bin/touch /tmp/acpibutton /bin/svdrpsend HITK Power fi else /bin/touch /tmp/acpibutton /bin/svdrpsend HITK Power fi If you press the power button VDR is told via SVDRP to shut down. If you press the power button two times within 20 seconds, the computer is shutdown directly with /sbin/shutdown. Best regards Sebastian Am Mittwoch, 27.
