NAME

       powernap-now - send the powernapd daemon the 'powernap now' signal

DESCRIPTION

       When  the  powernapd(8)  runs,  it  is  monitoring  the  system,  and determining when it should take the
       specificied powernap action.

       If the administrator (or even other utilities or  processes)  could  asynchronously  determine  that  the
       system  should  'powernap  now', the powernap-now(8) can be used to send the powernapd(8) a signal, which
       will log the event and force a powernap immediately.
