idledd new on aur

we programmed a backlight-dimmer that runs as a deamon and is configuratable via a /etc/conf.d file: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=43389

please feel free to test, use, report back and help developing if you like.

Hi,
I like your daemon but I have a question:
Why did you used acpi to know if the ac adaptor is plugged instead of reading /sys/class/power_supply/ADP1/online?

Re: idledd new on aur

for me it's

/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online

why is it ADP1 for you? If it was the same, we could use that instead of acpi.

Hi miro279,
the daemon no more starts at boot; well, it actually starts but doesn't works.
If I start it with "rc.d start idledd", it doesn't works. Otherwise, if I start it with "/etc/rc.d/idledd start", it works.
