For many years, i've the following "replacement" for acpid:
---- cut ----
#! /bin/sh
[ -d /sys/module/button ] || { modprobe button; sleep 5; }
[ -f /proc/acpi/event ] || exit 1
while read x < /proc/acpi/event; do
case "$x" in
*button/power*)
echo "
Power down
" > /dev/console
shutdown -h -P now
;;
esac
done
---- cut ----
Is it not sufficient for you?
If you talk about VMs, I found it is much easier to use Ctrl+Alt+Del
from inittab to signal shutdown, and don't bother with acpi at all.
For this to work, just change cad action in /etc/inittab to do
power down instead of reboot.
As for enabling this applet for wheezy, it definitely is not possible
at this time because of the freeze.
Thanks,
