    1: The [[!template id=man name="powerd" section="8"]] daemon acts upon power management events posted by the kernel's power management facility, translating the events into a script name and arguments. These scripts are found in `/etc/powerd/scripts/`. 
    2: 
    3: The `lid_switch` script is called on lid-open and -close events. An event of `pressed` means the lid has been closed, and `released` that the lid has been opened.

    6:     
    7: [[!template id=programlisting text="""

   11:     if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ]; then export DISPLAY=:0; fi
