power button to shut down

[pancholitis]

I am seeking already for hours.

I have a fresh proxmox 1.8 install and want to activate the power button...

The last employee leaving the office will always shutdown the server, as we begun to save some energy.

How do I have to proceed exactly.

Thank you for your help in advance.

it looks like you need acpi daemon.

apt-get install acpid

Thank you very much for your very fast response.

Unfortunately it didn´t work.

I have a fresh install of the 1.8-version (up to date)

I installed the deamon, but the power button doesn´t work.

Hardware: Dell SC440 (alias "proxmoxli"...)

Are there some procedures to follow after the install?

The correct code to manage power button is not in Lenny, you have to use backported packages.
So add in your sources.list

# Lenny backports
 deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main

then run:

 # aptitude update
 # aptitude install -t lenny-backports acpid acpi-support

(you can use the '-R' flag of aptitude to avoid installation of recommended packages, I suppose)
