[SOLVED] Checking battery charge with acpid

Hello,

I've recently reinstalled Arch on my notebook and one things is strange:
I was used to check battery charge with acpid command, but it is not doing so anymore.

When I type acpid, It tries to start the process (which is started at boot), and I got an error message.

How can I check battery charge by acpid command?

Thanks,

vinicius
