RE: PXES + Terminal Services 2003

I had exactly the same problem.  To resolve the problem required some
significant modifications.  Because I did this some time ago I cannot
remember exactly everything but here what I can tell you.

 

- the supplied 2.6 kernel does include all the required modules for 'acpi',
the supplied 2.4 kernel does not.

- add the 'acpid' daemon and configure the 'rcS' to start it.

 

Add to 'rcS':

-------------------------------------------------------

 

# Enable acpid
if [ "$OSRELEASE" \> "2.6.0" -a -d /proc/acpi ]
then
        bootmsg 'Loading Power Button module.'
        modprobe button
        if [ -x /bin/acpid ] 
        then
                bootmsg 'Starting acpid to watch for Power Button press'
                /bin/acpid -c /etc/acpi/events/ -l /var/log/acpid.log
        fi
fi

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

I think that's all it took.

 

After adding the 'acpid' you could modify the 'startx.tpl' or 'rdesktop.sh'
to poweroff on exit.

 

I also added a 'poweroff' option to the admin.cgi

 

Hope that helps.

 

Ben.
