acpid Script not triggering

[agrh]

I have a shell script in /etc/acpi and an event file in /etc/acpi/events, but even though the script works if run directly and the event can be seen with acpi_listen the script doesn't run with the trigger. Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this?

/etc/acpi/eepc-she.sh:

#!/bin/bash

if (grep -q 'discharging' /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state); then
    # Super Hybrid Engine On
    echo 2 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv

    # Disable Webcam
    echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera

    # Intel Atom N270 @ 800MHz
    echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

    # Intel GMA950 @ 200MHz
    setpci -s 00:02.0 f0.b=00,60
    setpci -s 00:02.0 f0.b=34,05

    STATUS="Enabled"
else
    # Super Hybrid Engine Off
    echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv

    # Webcam Off
    echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera

    # Intel Atom @ 1.60GHz
    echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

    # Intel GMA950 @ 400Mhz
    setpci -s 00:02.0 f0.b=00,60
    setpci -s 00:02.0 f0.b=33,05

    STATUS="Disabled"
fi

sleep 1
export DISPLAY=:0 && notify-send -t 1000 "Super Hybrid Engine" $STATUS

/etc/acpi/events/eeepc-she:

event=battery
action=/etc/acpi/eeepc-she.sh

[conradin]

show us

# tail /var/log/acpid.

[agrh]

tail: cannot open `/var/log/acpid' for reading: No such file or directory

I looked in the conf file for acpid but couldn't find an option to turn it on, any ideas?

[agrh]

Alright, got the loggin out of /var/log/syslog:

Dec  5 14:03:33 andy-netbook acpid: action exited with status 0

Dec  5 14:03:33 andy-netbook acpid: procfs completed event "processor CPU1 00000081 00000000"

Does this imply I should make my script exit with '0'?

[agrh]

Turns out it is working after all :/

The problem is with notify-send not hitting my X Display, thanks for the prod to look into logging though, conradin, cheers

[agrh]

So the problem was with notify-send which must be run as the user receiving it through their DBUS session:

#!/bin/bash

if (on_ac_power); then
    # Disable Super Hybrid Engine, Enable Webcam & Set CPU governor to ondemand
    echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv
    echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera
    echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
    # Intel GMA950 @ 400Mhz
    setpci -s 00:02.0 f0.b=00,60
    setpci -s 00:02.0 f0.b=33,05

    STATUS="Disabled"
else
    # Enable Super Hybrid Engine, Disable Webcam & Set CPU governor to powersave
    echo 2 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv
    echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/camera
    echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
    # Intel GMA950 @ 200MHz
    setpci -s 00:02.0 f0.b=00,60
