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

[Ted Felix]

  Thanks for the bug report.

  This is working as designed.  acpid ignores any files with dots in 
their names.  ".sh" files aren't config files, they are shell scripts 
that are run by the config files.  Give your config files a name without 
a ".sh" then have the config file point to a shell script with the .sh 
in the name.

  See the latest man page for acpid for more details.

Ted.
