Most people have replied saying "just put a beep in your shutdown sequence", "do it in userspace" etc etc etc.
Unfortunately this isn't suitable - the machines may be in a locked cabinet a few minutes walk away from the remote terminally shutting the system down.
However, a couple of people have said it is doable, so I think I'll dust off my rusty C skills and see what I can do. I'll mail the patch here if/when I get something that works.
Thanks!
