[PATCH] execute program on events

[Kevin Eustice]

It seems like the right way to do what you want to do here is not to
execute a specified program, but rather generate an event (maybe to
ACPI?) that an external process can use to trigger some execution.

Currently, I do something similar through the use of a log watcher
that triggers on succesful DHCP sessions observed in the log file.
