I believe APM support is already made available with the stock redhat kernels, which I haven't modified. An interesting thing Stephen raised earlier was whether I was running apmd, which I wasn't. I've done further analysis on this and the boxes that do poweroff on shutdown have it running. I will enable the service tonight (I'll be onsite then) and test it all, fingers crossed it works.
