NAME

       xfce4-power-manager - The Xfce 4 Power manager

SYNOPSIS

       xfce4-power-manager [options]

DESCRIPTION

       xfce4-power-manager  manages  the  power  sources  on the computer and the devices that can be controlled to reduce their power consumption
       (such as LCD brightness level, monitor sleep, CPU frequency scaling). In addition, xfce4-power-manager provides a set  of  freedesktop-com-
       pliant  DBus interfaces to inform other applications about current power level so that they can adjust their power consumption, and it pro-
       vides the inhibit interface which allows applications to prevent automatic sleep actions via the power manager; as an example, the  operat-
       ing system's package manager should make use of this interface while it is performing update operations.
       You can run xfce4-power-manager from the command line without specifying any extra arguments.

OPTIONS

       --no-daemon
	      Starts the power manager in non-daemon mode: useful for debugging.

       --restart
	      Causes the running power manager to restart.

       --customize
	      Shows the configuration dialog.

       --quit Causes any running instance of xfce4-power-manager to exit.
