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.
The directory /usr/lib/powersave/scripts contains scripts for processing
events:
switch_vt
Useful if the screen is displaced after a suspend or standby.
wm_logout
Saves the settings and logs out from GNOME, KDE, or other window managers.
wm_shutdown
Saves the GNOME or KDE settings and shuts down the system.
set_disk_settings
Executes the disk settings made in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/disk.
If, for example, the variable
EVENT_GLOBAL_SUSPEND2DISK="prepare_suspend_to_disk
do_suspend_to_disk" is set, the two scripts or actions are processed in the
specified order as soon as the user gives powersaved the command for the sleep
mode suspend to disk. The daemon runs the external script /usr/lib/
powersave/scripts/prepare_suspend_to_disk. After this script has
been processed successfully, the daemon runs the internal action
do_suspend_to_disk and sets the computer to the sleep mode after the script
has unloaded critical modules and stopped services.
