You don't have to use the deprecated hal! Here are my scripts which I use(d). All you need is
exec ck-launch-session awesome
in your .xinitrc.
shutdown
#!/bin/bash
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
reboot
#!/bin/bash
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart
hibernate
#!/bin/bash
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power" /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Hibernate
and suspend
#!/bin/bash
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power" /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Suspend
