NAME

       powerwake-now - send the powernapd daemon the 'powerwake 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  'powerwake  now'  from  the  powersave mode, the powerwake-now(8) can be used to send the
       powernapd(8) a signal, which will log the event and force a wake-up from the powersave mode immediately.
