And also, if you want your changes to persist reboot (as Unraid holds /etc in RAM), you should create a user script that runs at the startup of array, with the command: sed -i -e 's/\/sbin\/init 0/virsh start "your_vm_name_here_in_quotes" \&> \/dev\/null/g' /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh This way it will replace the normal shutdown command in the file with your "start vm" command on every boot. EDIT: Beginning with Unraid 6.10, there are now additional modifications that need to be made, per this thread: I therefore added the following lines to my script: /etc/rc.d/rc.acpid restart sed -i -e 's/#HandlePowerKey=poweroff/HandlePowerKey=ignore/g' /etc/elogind/logind.conf sed -i -e 's/#HandleSuspendKey=suspend/HandleSuspendKey=ignore/g' /etc/elogind/logind.conf sed -i -e 's/#HandleHibernateKey=hibernate/HandleHibernateKey=ignore/g' /etc/elogind/logind.conf /etc/rc.d/rc.elogind restart

Well, it has been yet a while again, but I similarly ran into the issue of the script not running, even though the server would no longer shut down. I did some more troubleshooting, and it appears there is some kind of issue calling the second script from the first. I do not care about being able to shut down the vm with the button, only starting it, and since virsh has its own error handling I was able to use this modification of the acpi script: #!/bin/sh # Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions # limetech - power off via webGui IFS=${IFS}/ set $@ case "$1" in button) case "$2" in power) virsh start "your_vm_name_here_in_quotes" &> /dev/null ;; *) logger "ACPI action $2 is not defined" ;; esac ;; *) logger "ACPI group $1 / action $2 is not defined" ;; esac
