CentOS - Power Button Behaviour - headless version

My last resolution about power button works only when monitor is connected.

If you have headless server you can use systemd-logind service. By default (in CentOS 8) it do nothing. I've only found:

systemd-logind[1373]: Power key pressed

in /var/log/messages.

To change this behaviour you can modify

/etc/systemd/logind.conf

I've uncommented line

#HandlePowerKey=poweroff

After thins restart service:

systemctl restart systemd-logind

Now power key works on headless Linux server.
