Re: acpilid works in single user but not in multiuser

I'm assuming that you have 'powerd=YES' in your /etc/rc.conf file?

sysmon_pswitch_event() checks to see if powerd process is running;  if 
yes, then the lid event is delivered to powerd.  But if powerd is not 
running (as would be expected in single-user mode), sysmon_pswitch_event 
does it's own printf()s.

I don't see any obvious error paths in the code that delivers the event 
to powerd (sysmon_power_daemon_task() in particular), but it might be 
useful to do throw in some debugging printf()s...
