I want the power button to shut down a mac mini in a kiosk type environment as well as start it up. It wont be networked so no remote suggestions please.

I have a piece of applescript that will shutdown the mac - but i want to activate this script by clicking on the power button:

ignoring application responses
tell application "Finder"
shut down
end tell
end ignoring


any suggestions please (searched for a few hours and found nothing)
 
Amcc, did you ever find a solution to this issue? I too want to have the same function for a Mac Mini inside a kiosk console. (no keyboard or mouse access)

Actually I would rather the power button bring up the Shutdown or Restart dialogue boxes rather than go direct to shutdown.
