Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to get current power consumption of a machine Post 302683351 by methyl on Tuesday 7th of August 2012 07:01:35 PM

I'd be surprised if this was possible with software.

If you need accurate ambient figures, get an engineer to use a non-intrusive current meter on each mains lead.
However, beware of start-up current which can be much higher just after you power the computer on. This is why we have a designated power-up sequence (with delays) should there be a power-down of a computer room.

The manufacturer's maximum figures should be on the plate near the mains lead of each component.

PM-POWERSAVE(8) 					       pm-utils User Manual						   PM-POWERSAVE(8)

NAME
pm-powersave - Put your computer into low power mode SYNOPSIS
pm-powersave [{true | false}] [--help] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pm-powersave command. pm-powersave can be used to set your system into low power mode. OPTIONS
true Put the computer into low power mode to reduce energy consumption and extend your laptop's battery life. false Turn off low power mode. --help Show the help. FILES
/etc/pm/power.d/, /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/ When you run pm-powersave it combines the scripts in these two directories and executes them in sorted order. If both directories contain a script with the same name, the one in /etc/pm/power.d/ has a higher precedence and only this one will be executed. Therefore to disable a script from /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/ simply create an empty file in /etc/pm/power.d/ with the same name and without the executable bit set. SEE ALSO
