  Just a question, does the read event in the loop blocks? I guess so, right?
 That's interesting.

Yes it does. There's no waste of cpu or something else.

[arch-general] There's no need for acpid

[Lukas Grässlin]

Hi there,

I discussed with someone else in an IRC channel that actually I have to
use acpid for laptop-mode-tools if I want to have settings changed when
I plug in AC.

Well, actually there is no need of acpid for this. A simply shell script
can do the same:

#!/bin/bash

while read event; do
case $event in
ac_adapter*)
/usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto  /dev/null 21
;;
esac
done  /proc/acpi/event

So I put this script unter /usr/sbin (or something else, whatever) and
start it in laptop-mode-tools initscript. Works perfectly and so I don't
need acpid just for this little thing.

Anyway isn't acpid a bit much for such simple things? I thought maybe
somene else could find this useful, so I post this to you ;)

Regards,
Lukas
