How to run something when laptop lid is closed?

Hi,

I'm running Arch on my EEEpc 1000h. I'd like to run certain commands when I close the lid. Can this be done?

Thanks in advance.

Check the aur for acpi-eee and acpi-eeepc-generic. Install one of them and configure it to do a specific task when the lid is closed.

Install the ACPI daemon and edit /etc/acpi/handler.sh.
