Hmm...so what is your question? I assume you meant to ask which daemon to
use, so if thats right read on:

While acpid already reached version 1.0 and is quite ready to use, ospmd is
supposed to be better of the two but it is still under development - though
actually no one is really working on it. When its done it should replace not
only acpid but also apmd and it is thought to handle UPSes and other power
related devices as well.
