Installation of Power Management Utilities
Install Power Management Utilities
by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/pm-utils-1.4.1 &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
If you don't have xmlto-0.0.25 installed, copy pregenerated man
pages:
install -v -m644 man/*.1 /usr/share/man/man1 &&
install -v -m644 man/*.8 /usr/share/man/man8 &&
ln -sv pm-action.8 /usr/share/man/man8/pm-suspend.8 &&
ln -sv pm-action.8 /usr/share/man/man8/pm-hibernate.8 &&
ln -sv pm-action.8 /usr/share/man/man8/pm-suspend-hybrid.8
Configuring Power Management Utilities
Suspend or resume functionality can be easily modified by
installing files into the /etc/pm/sleep.d directory. These files,
known as hooks, are run when the system is put into a sleep state
or resumed. Default hooks are located in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d,
and user hooks should be put in /etc/pm/sleep.d. See the
pm-action(8) man page for more information.

Short Descriptions
|
on_ac_power
|
is a script that determines whether the system is running
on AC power (rather than a battery).
|
|
pm-hibernate
|
is a symlink to pm-action script that puts the computer
into hibernate mode (the system is fully powered off and
system state is saved to disk).
|
|
pm-is-supported
|
is a script that checks whether power management features
such as suspend and hibernate are supported.
|
|
pm-powersave
|
is a script that puts the computer into powersaving (low
power) mode.
|
|
pm-suspend
|
is a symlink to pm-action script that puts the computer
into suspend mode (most devices are shut down and system
state is saved in RAM).
|
|
pm-suspend-hybrid
|
is a symlink to pm-action script that puts the computer
into hybrid-suspend mode (the system does everything it
needs to hibernate, but suspends instead of shutting
down).
