If you're using debian, then there are examples in the package.  Only two, but
it's pretty trivial.  If you're not using debian, then why not :-)  The only
'secret' is the fact that the events shown - 'power' and 'ac' almost certainly
don't exist.  Well, anything that's unknown gets logged to syslog.  Look for the
ACPI events, use the names shown to create your own rules and scripts - we can't
tell you what the events will be because they're defined at the DSDT level.
