Hi guys, any ideas how I could get a laptop running debian or ubuntu to shut itself down when the power is lost? I have looked at pm-utils but this seems to be only for suspend/hibernate.

Ideally I would like the laptop to shut down when power is gone then start up when power is restored (but the startup is just gravy, I don't mind hitting the power button to start up). I don't want to hard shutdown like it would without a battery, I just don't want it draining the battery each time until it gets to a critical level and shuts down.

The way I would have done this in the past was with /etc/acpi stuff, but this is gone now.

Thanks,

Jeremy
