acpic - an acpid client

This little daemon extends acpid event handling capabilities. Normally, event handlers are placed by root in /etc/acpi/events/. With acpic, you can place additional handlers in a per-user ~/.config/acpi/events/ directory.

I personally use it to control PulseAudio with hardware volume buttons on my laptop (see examples).

Installation

The easiest way is to install acpic with pip:

$ pip install acpic

Then, place your handlers in ~/.config/acpi/events/ and make acpic somehow start when you log in, for example by creating an XDG-compliant entry in ~/.config/autostart/acpic.desktop:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=acpic
Comment=acpid event handler
TryExec=acpic
Exec=acpic
Type=Application
