Connecting external power-on button to Linux CNC

Connecting external power-on button to Linux CNC was created by machete
In my machine (big Gildemeister lathe) i have green button wich is starting machine power (oil pumps, drives power etc) and red button (conected with E-stop) wich turns this power off.
Both buttons connected to different input pins on my 7i77 card.
Now i've configured E-stop (red button), so i can see condition of my external E-stop button in AxisGUI
But, which hal pin i need to connect with my green button to perform action like F2 does?
(At this moment, i must hit F2 first, to start linux-cnc, and after that push green button on my machine)

There are many ways to do this.
Here is one of them.
forum.linuxcnc.org/47-hal-examples/25861-external-e-stop
But this assumes that the reset button is the orange button in axis.
Probably the correct way is to use a safety relay with a momentary estop reset button (green button) and trigger a relay that sends 24 volts to an input attached to iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in something like this
Here is my safety relay wiring.

net estop-ext <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-04
net estop-ext => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

I'm fine with E-stop, it all links and works well, I just want to connect a push button to turn on the button to the right of the e-stop button in axis. The f2 keyboard key links to it. But I can't see what its called. All the axis enables seem to be linked to it.

halui.machine.on and halui.machine.off work for AXIS.

I tried to net a pin to halui.machine.on
It just created the entity halui. Machine. On.

Hmm, it works here, using a 7i96 I connected the pins as below and input 1 will turn the machine on and off.
Code:
net power-on hm2_7i96.0.gpio.001.in halui.machine.on
net power-off hm2_7i96.0.gpio.001.in_not halui.machine.off

pretty sure this was left out of my .ini file.
HALUI = halui
HALUI = halui
