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}]

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

Set the computer into low power mode to reduce energy consumption and extend your laptop´s battery life.

false

Turn off low power mode.

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 execute bit set.
