notify 10 {
match "system" "ACPI";
match "subsystem" "Lid";
action "/etc/rc.lid $notify";
};
/etc/rc.lid:
#!/bin/sh
# deal with lid switch events
if [ "x$1" = x0x00 ]; then
/usr/bin/logger -t Lid Closed at `/bin/date`
/sbin/sysctl hw.acpi.video.lcd0.active=0
else
/usr/bin/logger -t Lid Opened at `/bin/date`
