That is why you need acpi_listen to follow the events while acpid is
running. The file can be opened only by one process.

You should also get events from battery, ac, FN+F4 etc.

If this event are still working before shutdown, poweroff should
work. I just know that poweroff does not work, when ACPI is dead (=3D
does not produce any events) and that ACPI events might die.
Interestingly, the power button event always works here.
