Hi,
I want to set up my computer so that it would do automatically
"shutdown -h" after short pressing of "power" button.
Is the only solution to emerge acpid (found on gentoo-forum)?
Would not it be easier with apm?
Because I remember once in the past having a comp with some other
linux-distro, where I think I did not install acpid, only edited
some file in /etc, and yet after pressing the "power" button it
correctly shutdowned my computer.
I just want to keep number of running daemons low. It is not
a notebook, so I think it is not worth to have one more daemon
running all the time just because of one possible event-trigger...

AFAIK your choices are acpid and apmd. Either will do the job as log as it can
detect power button events. I wouldn't worry about running the daemon because
resource usage is probably quite low.

Acpid on my system is consuming 592K of memory and has accumulated 0
seconds of CPU time out of the 40-or-so hours that my laptop has been
up. So it is definitely quite frugal on resources!!
