[K12OSN] K12LTSP5.0 Have to hold down the power button for 3 seconds to turn off clients.

[Jim McQuillan]

Krsnendu,

The power-button issue is caused by the fact that LTSP-4.2 and the 
latest version of K12LTSP are using a 2.6.x kernel, which uses acpi.  
acpi configures the power button to generate an event, rather than turn 
the power off immediately.

LTSP doesn't include the proper code to invoke a shutdown yet, so the 
event doesn't do anything.  Holding the button for some number of 
seconds causes a real power-off to happen.

We plan on adding this capability in a future version of LTSP.
