doh...I'd seen "start-stop-daemon" plenty of times in examples, assumed it wasn't present in the base, but never actually checked  thanks

After the lastest big upgrade I'm having some issues  in the load of udev, vhba and acpid. I don't know if it's related but the lastest package that I installed was acpid.

I'm using archlinux.

Hi,

I updated to opensuse 11.2 from 11.1 (more a complete reinstall).

I am happy with version 11.2 but there are some minor things, which do not work at all. One of them is the acpid.

I have a Lenovo T400 and created some additional keycommands in /usr/lib/acpid/thinkpad_handler. These working fine with version 11.1.

Background:

I'm a Ubuntu/Debian fan and most of my development experience has been on that platform but my current employer uses Redhat. I needed to write a simple init.d script and want the resulting program to run as an unprivileged user.

10.04 acpid problem 1 year 9 weeks ago

I'm trying to get some acpi stuff working, and I came to the following situation:

When running acpi in foreground like acpid -ddl everything works as expected, I can see all the events, all scripts are executed.

But when I just start the service using service acpid start my scripts don't get executed.

What am I missing? Does the service thing does anything in a different way?

In the old days, I configured acpid to launch vlock-cmatrixreloaded when I press Fn + F2, now it no longer works since systemd handles TTYs, I just got a screen flash when I press those keys.

The only way to invoke it is launch it manually from a tty or xterm, anyway to fix that?

EDIT

Fn is a standard function key (like shift) on laptops, and acpi_listen prints:

button/screenlock SCRNLCK 00000
