Which daemon handles power management events on a Linux system?

 The daemon that handles power management events on a Linux system is acpid. A daemon is a background process that runs continuously and performs certain tasks without user intervention. The acpid daemon listens for power management related events, such as switching between AC and battery power on a laptop, pressing the power button, closing the lid, etc., and executes various commands in response. The acpid daemon can be configured by editing the files in /etc/acpi/events and /etc/acpi/actions directories, or by using a graphical tool like gnome-power-manager or xfce4-power-manager. The acpid daemon is part of the 101.1 Determine and configure hardware settings topic of the LPI Linux Essentials certification program12. References:
