Personally, I'd replace the file atomically from a copy.
Code:
# mntroot rw
# /etc/init.d/powerd stop
# cd /mnt/us
/mnt/us# cp /usr/bin/powerd powerd-backup # just to be safe
/mnt/us# cp /usr/bin/powerd powerd-modified
# edit powerd-modified
/mnt/us# mv powerd-modified /usr/bin/powerd #replaces the file atomically, even if the daemon were still running
# /etc/init.d/powerd start
# mntroot ro

I was simply trying to copy a modified version over with WinSCP. I didn't know you had to stop/start it with /etc/init.d/powerd stop/start.
