Package: battery-stats
Version: 0.3.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi.
What about rewriting battery-status as a shell script? The current
version is dead upstream and thanks to a misfeature in libacpi not
working very wel. I made my own battery stats package using a shell
script called from cron every 10 minutes (not calling it more often, to
keep the disk writes low (save power on laptops). I also added pm-utils
hooks to call it before and after the machine is hibernated, and when
the external power supply is inserted or disconnected, allowing very
detailed collection of battery status.
Would it be an idea to rewite battery-status along those lines?
This is my collector script, creating a csv file:
#!/bin/sh
# Inspired by
# http://www.ifweassume.com/2013/08/the-de-evolution-of-my-laptop-battery.html
logfile=/var/log/hjemmenett-battery-status.log
files="manufacturer model_name technology serial_number \
energy_full energy_full_design energy_now cycle_count status"
if [ ! -e "$logfile" ] ; then
(
printf "timestamp,"
for f in $files; do
printf "%s," $f
done
echo
) > "$logfile"
fi
log_battery() {
printf "%s," $(date +%s)
for f in $files; do
printf "%s," $(cat $f)
done
echo
}
cd /sys/class/power_supply
for bat in BAT*; do
(cd $bat && log_battery >> "$logfile")
done
This is the script in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/:
#!/bin/sh
# Action script to collect battery status just before and just after
# going to sleep.

if [ -x /usr/sbin/collect-battery-status ]; then
/usr/sbin/collect-battery-status
fi
;;
esac
This is the script in /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/:
#!/bin/sh
# Action script to collect battery status when the power connector is
# inserted or removed.

if [ -x /usr/sbin/collect-battery-status ]; then
/usr/sbin/collect-battery-status
fi
;;
esac
The cron.d entry look like this:
# Collect battery status ever 10 minutes
*/10 * * * * root if [ -x /usr/sbin/collect-battery-status ]; then
/usr/sbin/collect-battery-status ; fi
My home made system lack graph support (I just pull the CSV file into a
spreadsheet), so perhaps those parts could be reused from the current
battery-status package?
