[Bug 46319] Re: Pressing POWER displays logout dialogue and then immediately shuts down

[Paul Sladen]

Reading this through carefully again:

  "the system [] shuts down [..] when i press the powerbutton"

and holding the power-button for 2 seconds on my ThinkPad did indeed
shutdown:

  received event "button/power PWRF 00000080 00000001"
  executing action "/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh"
  /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh: line 9: [: 22545: unary operator expected
  ERROR: Couldn't attach to DCOP server!

This is because 'pidof' is being used like:

  if [ `pidof gnome-power-manager` ] ; then

instead of:

  if pidof gnome-power-manager > /dev/null ; then

In the former case, if there are two processes running (for whatever
reason), then the unquoted result expands to:

  test 1234 2345

and induces the error above.
