It is obious there will be good if we have a way to catch power event from userland. I have some ideas to implement it. One way is implement with kqueue(2) and /dev/acpi to get power events. This way does not require daemons to wait the event exclusively. Each process that requires to get power event can handle it by the interface. I wrote the experimental code a years ago. Next way is that make /dev/acpictl node that can open exclusively and catch the power event by it, like apmd. The last way is that extend /dev/devctl interface and devd(8) that can handle power event.
