Thanks for taking the time to write a followup, Steve. I'll look into that.

Dave,
As I read your original post, and this SUMMARY, something kept nibbling at
the back of my mind...
I finally ran across the information that I was trying fervently to "page
in" from long-deactivated memory:
If you have a UPS on the system, and are using the 'ups_mond' daemon for
shutting down the system in the event of a power failure, then there is
command 'power_onoff' that will shutdown the system and instruct the UPS to
power off the system.
I haven't used the command in any practical application, but I thought that
I would pass it on to you...
