kacpimon(8) System Manager's Manual kacpimon(8) NAME
kacpimon - Kernel ACPI Event Monitor SYNOPSIS
kacpimon DESCRIPTION
kacpimon is a monitor program that connects to three sources of ACPI events: 1. /proc/acpi/event 2. netlink 3. the input layer (/dev/input/event*) kacpimon then reports on what it sees while it is connected. Use kacpimon to make sure your kernel is sending acpi-related events via the three sources mentioned above. Since both acpid and kacpimon connect to the same sources, be sure to kill acpid before running kacpimon: sudo killall acpid Also be sure to run kacpimon as root or else it won't be able to open /proc/acpi/event or the input layer: sudo ./kacpimon If you want to pipe the output of kacpimon to a file, be sure to use the "Esc" key to exit rather than Ctrl-C. Using Ctrl-C will cause output to be lost. FILES
