[Solved] Can't pm-suspend via acpid

Question

Hello fellow archers, I'm following the acpid wiki to suspend on pressing the sleep/suspend button and for some reason pm-suspend is not executed. Here are the relevant bits:
acpi_listen
button/suspend SUSP 00000080 00000000
/etc/acpi/handler.sh
button/sleep)
case "$2" in
SUSP) #echo -n mem >/sys/power/state ;;
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend ;;
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
tail -f /var/log/messages.log
localhost xxxx: ACPI group/action undefined: button/suspend / SUSP
It's getting logged but nothing happens.
Any help is appreciated

I don't think it was getting logged like you think.
localhost xxxx: ACPI group/action undefined: button/suspend / SUSP

The 'group/' is not in the snippet you provided.  It must have been generated by some other part of your script.
