Button/lid (no /proc/acpi/events?)

Question

I must be missing something obvious but it seem that when I close my laptop's lid, the button/lid section of handler.sh is not triggered. I have acpi running fine, it even seems that other events are successfully triggered (like ac_adapter), but not button/lid. Essentially I'm trying to run 'powersave -u' when I close the lid.
Help please?

Answer 1

Thanks for the reply. It seems like this might be part of a bigger problem though, because I don't seem to have a /proc/acpi/event. What I have in /proc/acpi are ac_adapter, battery, button, embedded_controller, fan, power_resource, processor, thermal_zone, and video.
Also, when I start my computer, Arch says that the acpi daemon started successfully. But if I stop it (also successfully) and then try to start it again, it always fails with "acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy".
Here's some sample output from /var/log/acpid which doesn't seem to be very useful. The exiting lines are probably me manually stopping acpid, although it never starts up again unless I reboot..

Now I'm really confused.
