kxxx process type (eg kjournald) and acpid vs kacpid
 

Hello,

What are the processes begining with a "k", like kjournald, khelper ... ? Are they relied to the kernel you are using, and what options where choosed for this kernel ?

I have set acpi for kernel 2.6.8 I finally installed, and it is recommended to install acpid daemon. What are the differences between acpid and kacpid ?

Any information is wellcome since I could not find specific information concerning kacpid.

Thanks, Xround
