Let init know user wants to shutdown
Quoted 9 lines · Pavel Machek
Hi!
Init should get to know that user pressed power button (so it can do shutdown and poweroff). Plus, it is nice to let user know that we can read such event. [I hunted bug for few hours, thinking that kernel does not get the event at all].
Here's patch to do that. Please apply,
Pavel
Isn't it better to just send the event to userspace , where is it caught by apmd ( or whatever has replaced it ). Then it can decide what to do about it, instead of dictating a shutdown from kernel ( policy alert ;-) )

I'm not dictating policy: init is free to do anything it is configured to, including /sbin/apmd --button_came or echo "Don't you dare to plpress that button again".
