yeah, swsusp doesn't work well on my setup yet, so I reboot frequently.

This is quite odd. I've tried a ton of variations on ac_adapter, and not
even event=* produces any change in the above output (yes, restarted
acpid after each change).

I'ven even copied my script into /etc/acpi/default.sh and it still
doesn't run...
