Thanks for this Tyler. At the moment i only seem able to find the acpi call for the power button, not for the cog.
Are they the same at: /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn and then: /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh ? If not can someone tell me where the acpi script for the cog is? Thanks, j On 7 October 2012 22:31, Tyler J.
