packages, except acpid that acts as a multiplexer for ACPI events, should not be run
concurrently with the powersave daemon.
Even if your system does not contain all the hardware elements listed above, use the
powersave daemon for controlling the power saving function. Because ACPI and APM
are mutually exclusive, you can only use one of these systems on your computer. The
daemon automatically detects any changes in the hardware configuration.
28.5.1 Configuring the powersave Package
The configuration of powersave is distributed to several files. Every configuration option
listed there contains additional documentation about its functionality.
/etc/sysconfig/powersave/common
This file contains general settings for the powersave daemon. For example, the
amount of debug messages in /var/log/messages can be increased by increas-
ing the value of the variable DEBUG.
/etc/sysconfig/powersave/events
The powersave daemon needs this file for processing system events. An event can
be assigned external actions or actions performed by the daemon itself. For external
actions, the daemon tries to run an executable file (usually a Bash script) in /usr/
lib/powersave/scripts/. Predefined internal actions are:
• ignore
• throttle
• dethrottle
• suspend_to_disk
• suspend_to_ram
• standby
• do_suspend_to_disk
• do_suspend_to_ram
