My Server shutsdown . Evertime at midnight.

The acpi Event power_button is triggered. at /etc/acpi/events/power_button
power_button:

# care about the power button
event=button/power.*
action=/usr/lib/acpid/power_button

How can i find out the "Caller" or the Trigger of this event ?

power_button is a script, so all you need is to save executing backtrace from that script. The idea is to write a script that analyzes processes tree from launched power_button upwards and the caller process should be somewhere within.

See this answer. Put the script into /usr/lib/acpid/power_button and save its output to a file: that should identify the offender unless the reason is not a data-center's cleaner guy :)

Depends exactly on your flavour of linux, but I've found this helpful in the past:

/var/log/acpi.log

Also using "lastcomm" to find the preceding processes.
