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.
This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because
the original program does not have a manual page.
pm-powersave can be used to set your system into low power mode.
One of the features that is enabled by pm-powersave is the so-called
Laptop Mode. A feature of the Linux kernel that allows to spin down the
hard drive for longer periods of time.
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.
SEE ALSO
pm-suspend(8), pm-hibernate(8)
