ACPID used to try to handle events internally. Rather than try to climb an ever-growing mountain, ACPID now lets YOU define what events to handle. Any event that publishes itself to /proc/acpi/event can be handled.

ACPID reads a set of configuration files which define event->action pairs. This is how you make it do stuff.

Installation:

make

Requirements:
For 2.6 and newer 2.4 kernels, ACPI seems to be fully integrated. That should be all you need. The ACPI kernel driver should be working on your system before trying ACPID. Verify ACPI is loaded by verifying the existence of /proc/acpi/event.

What's New in This Release:
set acpi_listen stdout to be line-buffered
detect a closed socket and exit (acpi_listen.c)
detect a closed events file and exit (acpid.c)
print read_line() errors (acpi_listen.c, acpid.c)
added sample battery config and handler
added sample AC adapter config/handler and hotkey config/handler for Panasonic notebooks
