Description: Utilities for Advanced Power Management (APM) on laptops
On laptop computers, the Advanced Power Management (APM) support
provides access to battery status information and may help you to
conserve battery power, depending on your laptop and the APM
implementation. The apmd program also lets you run arbitrary programs
when APM events happen (for example, you can eject PCMCIA devices when
you suspend, or change hard drive timeouts when you connect the battery).
.
This package contains apmd(8), a daemon for logging and acting on APM
events, apm(1), a client that prints /proc/apm, xapm(1x), an X11 utility
that displays a little graph, on_ac_power(1), a program for shell scripts
to determine if wall power is connected, and tailf(1) which follows the
growth of a log file without writing to disk.
.
The Debian default kernel does *not* contain APM support, because it causes
problems on some computers. So, you need to recompile your kernel
and enable APM support during configuration; the corresponding questions
are in the 'Character devices' section.
