Power Switch

[Walter Coole]

Does anyone know how to tell Linux to use the soft power switch on my
newish Compaq?

What I want is: when my three-year-old pushes the switch, it does a
clean shutdown.  Windows (bleah) knows how to do this, so the hardware
is there.  My old HP-UX system could handle this, but I don't know if
Linux knows this trick.
