Another way (if one has such a ATX Mainboard) is to configure the
switch to issue a suspend (done in the bios).

Then install the spmd, and write a small script that does a shutdown
-h now when entering suspend mode. 

Most likely, the Bios wil suspend the box, before it finished the
shutdown. Pressing the power switch one more time will end the
suspend, and the shutdown command will finish.
