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
Put 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 executable bit set.
