Most people have replied saying "just put a beep in your shutdown sequence",
"do it in userspace" etc etc etc.
Unfortunately this isn't suitable - the machines may be in a locked cabinet
a few minutes walk away from the remote terminally shutting the system
down.
However, a couple of people have said it is doable, so I think I'll dust off
my rusty C skills and see what I can do. I'll mail the patch here if/when
I get something that works.
Thanks!
