If I saw something like this in > debian's wiki, I'd probably look into it and let someone know. Ahem—arch has no /bin, /sbin or /usr/sbin to put anything into. So it's hardly surprising that they put powertop into /usr/bin. Cheers, David.

Starting powertop --auto-tune from systemd
[Please follow-up to debian-user] Hello, I run /usr/bin/powertop --auto-tune to optimize the power consumption of my system. Running it manually works nicely. When I try to run from systemd, I see no effect :-/ I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Powertop#Apply_settings added root@master:~# cat /etc/systemd/system/powertop.service [Unit] Description=Powertop tunings [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/powertop --auto-tune RemainAfterExit=true [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target root@master:~# enabled it for systemd and got root@master:~# systemctl status powertop.service ● powertop.service - Powertop tunings Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/powertop.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) (Result: exit-code) since Sat 2018-03-10 18:29:53 CET; 22min ago Process: 642 ExecStart=/usr/bin/powertop --auto-tune (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Main PID: 642 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC) Tasks: 0 (limit: 4915) CGroup: /system.slice/powertop.service Mar 10 18:29:53 master systemd[1]: Started Powertop tunings.

Runnung # powertop --auto-tune makes them all good (and reduces the power consumption). Any idea is welcome :-) Thanks Rainer -- Rainer Dorsch http://bokomoko.de/
