My machine beeps all over the place when it is doing a shutdown. Type 
"shutdown -h now", fans roar, thing beeps and beeps, harddrive rumbles like 
crazy, another beep, then the eery sound of total silence when it has turned 
itself off. Hard to miss it! 

And if yours doesn't (or mine only does because of certain scripts/versions), 
use the various suggestions given on this list :)

Cheers,
Dennis
