acpid doesn't parse multiple event/action pairs in one file

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: I have /etc/acpi/events/events.conf: event=button/power.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/power.sh event=ac_adapter action=/etc/acpi/actions/ac.sh %e event=battery.* action=/etc/acpi/actions/battery.sh %e When acpid starts with this it only loads 1 rule. The others are ignored. If I put them in 3 different conf files all three get loaded. I'm almost positive that in fc2 and prior I was able to do this, though I don't have another available acpi machine to test it on. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): acpid-1.0.3-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.define an /etc/acpi/events/file with multiple event/action pairs 2.restart acpid Actual Results: log shows 1 rule loaded, behavior confirms Expected Results: Should load as many event/action pairs as you have defined in a file, and show that many rules loaded in log file. Additional info:
Looking at the code, it very clearly only parses one rule per file. I don't think this is a behavior we'd change locally; it would be a somewhat intrusive change. You'd probably be better off requesting the change at: http://acpid.sourceforge.net/
