Re: ospmd or acpid

Thanks, you answered the question.

So I will be sticking with acpid until all the ACPI support for my system is under control ;).

Just a quick question regarding the user space daemons for ACPI.  There
is ospmd which is part of the acpi project, and there is acpid which is
a seperate project which Andrew is a member of both.

Hmm...so what is your question? I assume you meant to ask which daemon to
use, so if thats right read on:

While acpid already reached version 1.0 and is quite ready to use, ospmd is
supposed to be better of the two but it is still under development - though
actually no one is really working on it. When its done it should replace not
only acpid but also apmd and it is thought to handle UPSes and other power
related devices as well.
