[CentOS] How to get status of notebook lid?

Hello,

I am using CentOS 5.1 on a toshiba tecra 8000 notebook. That works great so far. The only thing I could not realize is to shutdown the notebook if closing the lid. Therefor I need the current status (open or close) of the lid, but I don't know how. Is there any way to get this status, maybe under /proc/ or by some command?

[root@beutelsend ~]# uname -a Linux beutelsend 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 5 11:36:49 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@beutelsend ~]# chkconfig --list apmd apmd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off [root@beutelsend ~]# service apmd status apmd (PID 1760) wird ausgeführt...

thank you very much Olaf
