Configure acpid events

Introduction

#

The acpid daemon reads configuration files to determine what actions to take for each event. These configuration files are usually located in the /etc/acpi/events/ directory. Each event has a corresponding script in the /etc/acpi/actions/ directory that defines the action to be taken.

Key name

Run acpi_listen to get the name of the key that is pressed.
