[SOLVED]Closed lid event

Question

Hi!!
I've got Dell Studio 1555 laptop. I want it to react when I'm closing the lid. Now, there isn't any rule, when it works, but it works very very rarely. I've got acpi and acpid installed. ACPID daemon is working. I've tested:
tail -f /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
during closing/opening lid, but there has been only one line:
state: open
Do I have to add any additional modules?
I really appreciate any help

Answer 1

Here's what I've got in /etc/acpi/handler.sh:
button/lid)
# check if the lid is open or closed, using the /proc file
grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
# if the lid is now closed, save the network state and suspend to ram
/usr/bin/netcfg all-suspend
/usr/sbin/pm-suspend
#echo -n mem >/sys/power/state
else
# if the lid is now open, restore the network state
/usr/bin/netcfg all-resume
fi
#echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
