Subject: [gentoo-user] Send events to ACPI via dbus as a simple user?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

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
