Is it Joris van Rantwijk's Linux PowerSwitch Driver ? The powerswitch driver makes
it possible to use the ATX power button on your computer to shutdown Linux. You
simply press the power button, and the driver shuts down Linux and powers off the
machine, just like the shutdown command does.

Seems like link is dead.

Good News.
I download the file and dev-tools as well,
make a powerswitch.o module and load this module at startup.
Now I can use ATX power button to shutdown My SME box normally.
thanks again, CH Cheah.

That would be cool if you could post the module, and a how to so everyone else interested could use it to.
I believe contribs.org allows this.

This module sounds like a real winner, has it been posted anywhere?
