CentOS 7: Shutdown with pressing power button

CentOS 6's power button action is shutdown, but CentOS 7's power button action is suspend as below.

[   85.247233] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.001
seconds) done.
[   85.249541] Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.001
seconds) done.
[   85.251926] Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)

Fedora 22's power button action is suspend too. But Fedora 23's power button action is shutdown again. This might be a different way with a way of using default value.

You can change power button action for each user with gsetting and gconf-editor. But you cannot change power button action before login.

In case of virtual machine, you must login to guest machine CentOS 7 for shutdown CentOS 7.

There are some discussion about this power button action like tablet and customizing default value. I think that this action should be shutdown for PC like Fedora 23.

The following script will install gnome-settings-daemon which has shutdown as power button action. After reboot, CentOS 7 can be shutdown with power button.

#!/bin/sh

sudo yum install -y rpmdevtools
sudo yum-builddep -y gnome-settings-daemon
sudo yumdownloader --source gnome-settings-daemon
rpm -i gnome-settings-daemon*.src.rpm
rm -f gnome-settings-daemon*.src.rpm
