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
/proc/acpi/event
kernel ACPI event file
/dev/input/event*
input layer event files

Maybe anyone can help me? (2 Replies)
