Daemon that handles ACPI
I know that development is going great for doing ACPI inside the kernel. What I do not know is if there is a daemon that does work similar to apmd which handles apm stuff from the kernel. I see that there are two programs, acpid and ospmd, there for me to use. Unfortunately they are both going on being 5 months to a 1 year behind the present development if the dates of when they were placed on the web is true. Is that because they are already well-defined and as a user I just need to configure it? Or are they behind because developement of them has lagged the kernel development?

Yes, development of the ACPI userspace side has been lagging or ignored for awhile now. Andy Grover asked for someone to pick them/these/it/all up a little over 1 week ago and I have volunteered to try to do that.
So far I have just collected the pieces and tried to build them. I will be putting the pmtools package (from intel.com) at the sourceforge project also.
The GUI part of ospmd never has worked and I'm not thrilled about it, but I'll give it a shot.
If anyone out there wants to help/contribute etc., please holler.
Thanks,
~Randy

ospmd aside - it really should be an improvement over acpid when done - acpid hasn't changed in months because there hasn't been any change to ACPI that would require a change to acpid. It simply listens for ACPI events and runs user defined scripts when they occur. If ACPI changes to trigger new events, acpid doesn't need to change, but the user would need to define new rules.

The very fact of how to create rules and having no examples made me stop trying to use acpid. If you have an example on a webpage that would be great.

Hi
you have a very basic example made by me in
http://codecs.home.sapo.pt/acpi/ in topic ACPI Deamon.
and talking about ospmd, yes, it never worked, we have a missing config file that make GUI doens't work, and in this case I never knew about a basic example...
Normally is the thing that is missed on every man and help pages of Linux :)

ospmd never worked ?! No. It work (but indeed must be updated).
The lib power work also, and actually that is the most important fact.

If you're using debian, then there are examples in the package. Only two, but it's pretty trivial. If you're not using debian, then why not :-) The only 'secret' is the fact that the events shown - 'power' and 'ac' almost certainly don't exist. Well, anything that's unknown gets logged to syslog. Look for the ACPI events, use the names shown to create your own rules and scripts - we can't tell you what the events will be because they're defined at the DSDT level.
