If your going to enable it, either way works for me but I do usually shut down after doing burn-in testing. Could you enable a popup that offered both options and a cancel? To be honest, I haven't used CPUstress in quite a while.
Providing options and a way for users to cancel will be an overkill. The user can stop any test at any time with a Ctrl+C, and it won't take her seconds to turn on the monitor, type 'poweroff' and press Enter. I would prefer simplicity here. Either soft poweroff, hard poweroff, or do nothing at all.
And I don't believe popping up a message during middle of a test is a good thing. Imagine when you run CPU Burn-in:
Code:
100000 iterations complete.
105000 iterations complete.
105000 iterations complete.
110000 iterations complete.
110000 iterations complete.
Power button pressed. Press <ENTER> for a soft poweroff, or <ESC> to cancel.
115000 iterations complete.
115000 iterations complete.
120000 iterations complete.

The message can get ignored easily.
