Power Button on orange pi with armbian OS seems to be useless and doesn't do anything.
here is the guide to use it as shutdown button ! so when you pushed it your orange pi would shutdown.
1- first login to root user or use sudo before all commands.
su
Copy code
2- update your repos
apt-get update
Copy code
3- install acpid
aptitude install acpid
Copy code
4- make a new file for power button event in acpi app
nano /etc/acpi/events/button_power
Copy code
5- paste this codes
event=button/power
action=/sbin/shutdown -h now
Copy code
6- Press Ctrl + X and then press Y
7- Make your code executable
chmod +x /etc/acpi/shutdown.sh
Copy code
8- Restart acpi app
/etc/init.d/acpid restart
Copy code
9- Done! Now press the power button on your device to shutdown your device !
You can also edit button_power file to do anything you want when pressing the power button.
Enjoy.

There is no /etc/acpi/shutdown.sh , you should make that file and paste the codes in step 5 in it, also chmod +x is necessary so it could be executable.

Both of those lines and you should add "-h now" after shutdown.sh without this it wont work well, this command tells the shutdown.sh to put the system in halt state, now. Then after halt process got completed and partitions got unmounted system will be ready to get powered off (by pulling it out of power, or unpluging it)
