Re: shutdown via remote control (lirc)

Option 1
LIRC
try irexec if you don't know what it is please google.
arch wiki, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lir … o_use_Lirc

Add this to your .lircrc file:

begin
prog = irexec
button = Power (or wahetver the PC button is named on your /etc/lircd.conf)
config = shutdown -h now
end
