12 acpid listens to ACPI events coming either in textual form from
13 /proc/acpi/event (though it is marked deprecated it is still widely
14 used and _is_ a standard) or in binary form from specified evdevs
15 (just use /dev/input/event*).
16
17 It parses the event to retrieve ACTION and a possible PARAMETER.
18 It then spawns /etc/acpi/<ACTION>[/<PARAMETER>] either via run-parts
19 (if the resulting path is a directory) or directly as an executable.
20
21 N.B. acpid relies on run-parts so have the latter installed.

Rob Landley6a6798b2005-08-10 20:35:54 +0000[diff] [blame]928 The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
929 your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
930 If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
931 example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
932 features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
933 that your /etc directory be writeable, tends to get easily confused
