paul :/etc/acpi/events$ cat sleepbtn
# /etc/acpi/events/sleepbtn
# Called when the user presses the sleep button

event=button[ /]sleep
action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh

changed:

paul :/etc/acpi/events$ sudo nano sleepbtn
paul :/etc/acpi/events$ cat sleepbtn
# /etc/acpi/events/sleepbtn
# Called when the user presses the sleep button

event=button[ /]sleep
action=/etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh

but same result .. /var/log/pm-suspend.log does not change, suspend / 
resume work only from laptop Fn-Esc, not kde-power-manager menu or usb 
keyboard sleep button and no "logger" message in /var/log/messages.

Do I need to reboot after changing that file?  If so, I did not.
