[Idea] Properly Shutdown When Power Button Pressed
[Idea] Properly Shutdown When Power Button Pressed
Firstly, would it be possible? Like, when the power button is pressed and the power is on, to run the halt command and then power off?
Well I see this in one of two ways.
First, if your using a software exploit to load a .xbe and ultimately linux, your still booting from the Microsoft bios, this does not have the functionality to do this.
Secondly, regardless of the above being original bios, or cromwell. Linux, kernel or userland must support this feature. Perhaps through an ACPI or other means. Quick google search didnt pull up anything, but than again, I'm tired and its 4:45AM. Ive seen posts where someone has mapped controller buttons using a perl script, perhaps that is an alternative.

I just disconnect them altogether to stop myself and others turning it off the wrong way.
Like shallax said, the switch is wired to the psu & can`t be controlled.

Could one hijack the Eject button to do the same?
