My trip_point reads:
cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
critical (S5):           80 C
passive:                 78 C: tc1=4 tc2=3 tsp=60 devices=0xffff8800007fce00
active[0]:               78 C: devices=0xffff8800004f2200

The value for 'critical' has been entered into the BIOS, at which point the
computer will perform a hard shutdown (equivalent to pulling the plug)

On my old laptop (died recently) I had it set up to initiate a proper
shutdown
(shutdown -h now) when it would get near this value.

How can I configure acpid to perform a proper shutdown when it reaches 78 C,
which ACPI-event would I get?
I'd rather not experiment for obvious reasons as this machine is used to
store
my emails and other important files.

Thanks,
