Hi!
Starting with Mdk 9.2 test releases, on a laptop (Thinkpad A21e) there
is a cool feature: when the batery runs below a critical level, suspend
to disk is automatically performed.
However, I couldn't locate any documentation on how this is achieved and
how can I configure that.
The PM system in use is APM, not ACPI.
It seems independent of apmd, though, since when I stop the apmd service
(in fact, when I stop all the services and can see only kernel processes
and getty and my shell) it still works. Messing with suspend-scripts
doesn't help too.
I highly suspect that the kernel apmd (kapmd) does this stuff, but I
cannot find any docs on kapmd on Google :(
I want to find a way to disable automatic suspend, but still be able to
check battery status with the "apm" command.
I need this because I want to profile my battery:
I previously discharged my battery while logging its characteristics
over time (remaining charge/timestamp) until it went completely dead. I
were stopping all services and mounting the ext3 filesystem with sync
option to avoid filesystem corruption and get all log entries up to
complete discharge.
Automatic suspend is launched long before the battery discharges completely.
Best regards,
