That's "ACPI", not "APIC" :-)
Either that or APM - depending on the age of your laptop. Newer ones
will work better with ACPI, but I'm not sure how well that handles
suspend / resume events as I use APM with my laptop.
For APM, whereami puts a hook into /etc/apm/event.d which makes it run
basically 'whenever there is an event'.
For ACPI, a script called /etc/acpi/events/default gets run. This is
not hooked into whereami, but that's where it would get done.
Unfortunately the ACPI handling is not fully mature yet, so the script
doesn't do a run-parts... on some directory to let other packages more
easily hook into it. (Hmmmm... maybe I feel a wishlist bug coming on...
:-)
Cheers,
Andrew
