ACPID scripts only work when restart acpid from terminal
I have an ACPI script to turn off my screen when I close the lid on my laptop. This however doesn't work unless I open a terminal window and restart ACPID. If I then leave the terminal window open and hit the close lid button, the screen turns off great, however after I close the terminal, it no longer works. If I restart ACPID from the services applet in the menu, it says it restarts, but the script doesn't run.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks, Jason |

this thread should not be left unanswered, it may help others..
anyway. i have the same problem with xcompmgr through acpid.. i want to turn off xcompmgr when i plug-out my ac-adapter. when acpid starts from startup scripts or rc's on BOOT. that process would be running in root or in a virtual terminal. after logging in then "startx", i would open a terminal then restart acpid $ sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.acpid restart then the rc.acpid must be running inside X now not in the virtual terminal where it started in bootup. the xcompmgr now works as what i wanted.. but i have to restart the acpid after opening a terminal "inside x". i already tried restarting acpid through a virtual terminal, then the xcompmgr won't work again if i plug-out my ac-adapter. i can't think of any work around for this so i posted, anyone? |
This post is quite old now, but I recently was having this issue with acpid. I was trying to make my laptop go to hibernation when I closed the lid. My problem seemed that I was using /proc/acpid/button/lid/LID0/state for checking the state of the lid. When I changed that and started using acpid parameters in the script (those you pass with %e and you fetch with $1 $2 $3 $4) my issue was solved. Hope it helps someone.

raising the dead here on this thread ...
I have had this issue since at least version 14.0, maybe longer. I am using the input values to the /etc/acpid/acpi_handler.sh script, as was suggested however that doesn't address the issue I have which is the handler script isn't being invoked. ACPID doesn't seem to be running until I do a 'rc.acpid restart' (Yes, I've checked that /etc/rc.d/rc.acpid is +x ...) Any ideas would be very much appreciated. |
