[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#563343: ignoring custom events if ends with '.sh'

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: acpid
Version: 1:2.0.0-1
Severity: normal

Real problem was that my laptop's battery is almost dead, at least for the
acpi subsystem. When AC is switched off, I don't get a battery event because
there is no battery as per the OS.
But there is still like 3 minutes of battery remaining.


So the events I get is only ac_adapter. My requirement was to trap events and
fire up "shutdown in 1 minute". And abort the shutdown if returned to AC within a minute

I have done that with the attached scripts. Maybe we can put than in the examples.


Regards,
Ritesh
