That boolean is set when the battery charge drops below the battery.charge.low level. Generally at work we set that to 50% to maximise the useful life of the batteries (we don't care about runtime past 5 minutes or so) and set battery.charge.restart to 50%. We use FreeBSD though so the actual details of the shutdown are a bit different I believe. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C
