So I'm running FC2 2.6.6 on a Sony VAIO PCG-V505BX. I've got all the modules for ACPI loaded as well as ACPID running. I've created my scripts for certain acpi events and placed them in /etc/acpi/events based off the man page for acpid. These files follow the man page format with the event and action variables specified. All of my action variables point to /etc/acpi/actions where they all point to their coresponding sh scripts to execute upon the acpid receiving an event. However, none of my scripts are working. I think it's the event names which are wrong. I'm using the following 3 events:

button/lid
button/power
ac_adapter

Has anyone else had experience with the acpid and coding scripts for event actions? If so, please post on your experience and maybe I can figure my issues out. Thanks in advance!

Have you had a look at the ACPI for Linux (http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/index.html) page? There's some documentation available and links to HOWTO's. One HOWTO which might be relevant for you is:
