It checks the ACPI event interface in /proc (IIRC /proc/acpi/event) and according to that event it calls the specified script (see /etc/acpi/events) with a couple of cmd line parameters. I can't help you with you with the thermal, battery, etc features 'cause I've only used it to make the power button do a shutdown on a couple of desktops. BTW: you can "disable" the power button on an ATX case by loading the button ACPI module and not running acpid (or set it up to ignore it) :) Federico Voges Socio gerente Intrasoft Malabia 2137 14 A (1425) Buenos Aires Argentina Te/Fax: 54-11-4833-5182 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.intrasoft.com.ar -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP SDK 3.0 iQA/AwUBPvHbEBRcJRaVKt4XEQJE9QCfeiM68fXujgJy/3vQb0Vph2GcuogAoO/y jfB460QYKUjI9WT/hpZxXy/a =oouC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
