I have /etc/acpi/events/events.conf: event=button/power.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/power.sh event=ac_adapter action=/etc/acpi/actions/ac.sh %e event=battery.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/battery.sh %e When acpid starts with this it only loads 1 rule. The others are ignored. If I put them in 3 different conf files all three get loaded. Version is acpid-1.0.3-2. Isn't this behavior incorrect?
