# NAME

`acpilid` — ACPI Lid Switch

# SYNOPSIS

`acpilid* at acpi?`

# DESCRIPTION

The `acpilid` driver supports ACPI “lid switches”. The powerd(8) daemon can be used to control actions against the events of opening or closing the lid. The script used is /etc/powerd/scripts/lid_switch, and the events are either pressed (the lid was closed) or released (the lid was opened).

# EXAMPLES

The following example modifies the mentioned script in order to put the system into (S3) sleep when the lid is closed:

    ...

    case "${2}" in
    pressed)
            logger -p info "${0}: suspending..."

            # As in sleep_button, kill some daemons.
            #
            /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd stop
            /etc/rc.d/network stop
            /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant stop

            # Suspend.
            #
            if /sbin/sysctl hw.acpi.sleep.state >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                    /sbin/sysctl -w hw.acpi.sleep.state=3
    	fi

            # Waking up.
            #
            /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start
            /etc/rc.d/network start
            /etc/rc.d/dhcpcd start

    ...
