Laptop Mode Tools 1.40 (Default branch)
Laptop Mode Tools allows you to control various power management settings based on AC/battery power state. Among other things, it controls Linux's "Laptop Mode" feature that allows your hard drive to spin down for extended periods. It can also control CPU frequency scaling and screen blanking timeouts (both terminal and X). It supports automatic hibernation when battery is low. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release adds a fully modular configuration file, support for battery information from sysfs, lid button information from hal, iwlwifi power saving, and optionally using the relatime mount option instead of noatime. Furthermore, the entire implementation was moved from bash to sh for improved performance.Image

dxpower

dxpower(8)						      System Manager's Manual							dxpower(8)

NAME

       dxpower - controls energy saving features on systems that can be power managed

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/bin/X11/dxpower

DESCRIPTION

       The  Power Manager application, dxpower, is used to maintain and manage the power management features on computers and peripherals that can
       be power managed.

       Power Manager lets you place monitors in three power saving modes: Standby, Suspend, or Off and lets you  selectively  spin  down  inactive
       disks  to reduce power consumption.  You also can specify when you want power management features to be active: always, never, or only at a
       specific time of day.

       Privileged (root) users have the capability to set system wide power management values.	Non-privileged users set power	management  values
       on their monitors for the current log in session.

       The Power Manager application can be invoked from: The CDE Application Manager Application Group: System_Admin System Admin Subgroup:  Dai-
       lyAdmin

       If you are not using CDE, start Power Manager from the command line: # /usr/bin/X11/dxpower

       For more information about how to use the Power Manager application, start the application and click on the Help button.

       An alternative to using the Power Manager application is to set and control power management attributes from the command line by using  the
       sysconfig  command.  Refer  to  System  Administration for more information about setting and controlling power management from the command
       line.
