>From the init(5) manpage:

       exec COMMAND [ ARG ]...
              This stanza defines the process to be run as the name of an exe‐
              cutable on the filesystem, and zero  or  more  arguments  to  be
              passed to it.  Any special characters, e.g. quotes or `$' speci‐
              fied will result in the entire command being passed to  a  shell
              for expansion.

              exec /usr/sbin/acpid -c $EVENTSDIR -s $SOCKET


Your "exec /sbin/acpid /dev/input/event*" certainly needs expansion, not
sure about the other example you gave (maybe because it needs to search
the $PATH to find getty or something?).
