/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
• do_standby
• notify
• screen_saver
• reread_cpu_capabilities
throttle slows down the processor by the value defined in MAX_THROTTLING.
This value depends on the current scheme. dethrottle sets the processor to full
performance. suspend_to_disk, suspend_to_ram, and standby trigger
the system event for a sleep mode. These three actions are generally responsible
for triggering the sleep mode, but they should always be associated with specific
system events.
