[gentoo-user] Send events to ACPI via dbus as a simple user?

[Ignas Anikevicius]

Hello list,

I was wondering if anybody could help me on this.

Is it possible to send events to the acpid daemon via dbus? What I want
to do is to write some scripts, which would be executed by a window
manager in X and then would trigger some event in acpid (e.g. suspend or
other root requiring things).

Thanks in advance,
Ignas

There doesn't appear to be a connection for acpi, at least "qdbus | grep
-i acpi" returns nothing. Could you add a line to /etc/sudoers to allow
your script, or the command it needs, to be run as root without a
password?
