[SOLVED] power button event not handled by acpid

Hello!

as stated by the topic, the events generated by the power button on my system are not handled correctly - instead, my system goes into standby mode without running any scripts(/etc/acpid/handler.sh:

1)  I am using Slim/xfce4 on arch 64 - I have acpid installed, and acpid daemon is started by my rc.conf.  I have attempted both solutions by the power_button archwiki article, and cannot find anything relevant in either the forums or in google's search results.

2) I have attempted this with and without the "button" kernel module loaded, and the result of acpi_listen is listed correctly (PBTN) in the console, followed by the immediate entry into standby mode.  The script indicates that a message should appear in tty5, however, nothing does appear at all - the system goes into standby, and cannot be recovered without a hard reset (this can be achieved with my reset button).

please inform me of any additional information needed, and any assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Problem solved - I simply switched to the inittab method for graphical boot, instead of the DAEMONS method in the wiki.
