NAME
cpufreqd - intelligently monitor and manipulate CPU frequency
SYNOPSIS
cpufreqd [-Dmhv] [-f filename] [-V verbosity]
DESCRIPTION
cpufreqd is used to monitor the status of the system and adjust the frequency of the CPU according to the user configuration. The behav- iour of the daemon is fully configurable. Logs are reported through syslogd.
PARAMETERS
-D, --no-daemon stay in foreground (used to debug). -m, --manual start in manual mode. -f filename, --file=filename Specify the configuration file to read. The default is /etc/cpufreqd.conf. -h, --help Display command line help. -v, --version Display the version number of the daemon. -V, --verbosity verbosity level from 0 (less verbose) to 7 (most verbose). Default verbosity is 4
SIGNALS
SIGHUP This lets cpufreqd perform a re-initialization. The configuration file (default is /etc/cpufreqd.conf) will be re-read and probes re-done. (Not yet implemented in cpufreqd-2.0) SIGINT, SIGTERM cpufreqd will terminate.
EXAMPLES
/usr/sbin/cpufreqd -D
NOTES
Some ACPI implementations are very cpu-consuming when reading the info file of system batteries. Cpufreqd implements a simple workaround that avoids reading that file except on initialization or reinitializa- tion. This has the effect of needing to send an HUP signal if inserting a new battery, otherwise battery measurement won't be cor- rect.

BUGS
Multiple CPUs are not considered separately thus the same policy is set in every available CPU. Battery can only be specified in percent, not in minutes remaining.
