    Shutdown using power button

    Hi,
    We use Ubuntu Server 8.04.
    This server is mostly used as a file server - we typically don't login into this server at all - even through ssh.
    Is it possible to configure the server to shutdown when the hardware power button is pressed - from the command line login prompt?

    Thanks!

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install acpid
