(solved) How to configure acpid for power button
« on: June 04, 2014, 08:29:31 AM »
Hi
I used this way for shuting down system when power key is pressed,
Code: [Select]
cat /usr/local/etc/acpi/events/power
event=button[ /]power
actions=/usr/local/etc/acpi/actions/power.sh "%e"

Code: [Select]
cat /usr/local/etc/acpi/actions/power
#! /bin/sh
exitcheck.sh shutdown

Code: [Select]
cat ~/.X.d/init
sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/acpid start

based on this thread: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,2813.msg14943.html#msg14943

also I add execution permission to three above files.

But when I press power button nothing was happen.

You have an extra space in the event.


This is what I have.
cat /usr/local/etc/acpi/events/power
event=button[ /]power
action=exitcheck.sh

Thanks, I do this
cat /usr/local/etc/acpi/events/power
event=button[ /]power
action=exitcheck.sh

That works correctly
