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.
One of the features that is enabled by pm-powersave is laptop-mode,
which allows the Linux kernel 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
