Re: acpid shutdown?

Yeah, you are. The 'action' is a program to run, so you'll need the full
path, provided you have a program called poweroff.

For example, in my events file, I have
event=button[ /]power
action=/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh

where the shell script has the following contents:

#!/bin/sh
# /etc/acpi/poweroff.sh
# Initiates a shutdown when the power putton has been
# pressed.

if ps -Af | grep -q '[k]desktop' && test -f /usr/bin/dcop
then
    dcop --all-users ksmserver ksmserver logout 0 2 0 && exit 0
fi

/sbin/init 0

The last line is the important one, and I think that you could just use
action=/sbin/telinit 0 .
