1/ depending on why you want to cut power to the board, would the 
monitoring cct consume less than a shutdown -h TS board?

2/ would it by simpler just to issue the sync command to flush all 
disk caching then power off the board in a live state? You probably 
dont need to do a full shutdown anyway.

3/ there was some discussion in the last 2 weeks here about the state 
of IO lines before and during start up. You could may get some ideas 
from that as a means of using the state of one IO pin to indicate the 
power on state rather than explicitly sending a pulse at the end of 
power down.

4/ send your pulse just before powering off essential functions and 
cut the power 2s later.

hopefully, one of those approaches will do what you need.
