Disable Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (acpid)
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 disable acpid'
Parameter:
Technical Mechanism:
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.
Fix:
#
# Disable acpid.service for all systemd targets
#
systemctl disable acpid.service
#
# Stop acpid.service if currently running
#
systemctl stop acpid.service
