Yes, I know this is handled by acpid; that's where the /etc/acpid/events/power.sh file comes in. I'm asking if anyone knows what changes to make to that file so that it gives a prompt first.
I'm guessing that there is a program out there already that will prompt for a shutdown, I just don't know what that program is.
On CentOS 5: /etc/acpi/events/power.conf # ACPID config to power down machine if powerbutton is pressed, but only if # no gnome-power-manager is running ...
On CentOS 6:/etc/acpi/actions/power.sh ... # Check that there is a power manager, otherwise shut down. ...
Do you use gnome? If so, in 'System / Preferences / ... / Power Managment', in the 'General' tab, there is "When power button is pressed = Ask me"
