The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Daemon (acpid)
dispatches ACPI events (such as power/reset button depressed) to userspace
programs.
The acpid
service can be disabled with the following command:
$ sudo systemctl mask --now acpid.service
ACPI support is highly desirable for systems in some network roles, such as laptops or desktops. For other systems, such as servers, it may permit accidental or trivially achievable denial of service situations and disabling it is appropriate.
