Re: Disabling powersaving temporarily from olpc-session?

Thanks for the correction. google is a good reference. when all else fails, read the comments in /usr/bin/powerd. overly verbose, perhaps, but hopefully complete. :-) That's actually /usr/sbin/powerd (sbin vs bin) Nice work. Thanks. One of the quirks about the XO is the lack of man pages. Is there an obvious/simple way to discover that the documentation for X is in the executable itself so that which X, more/vi $X will tell me what I'm looking for? I suppose it's worth a try to assume that it's a script rather than a binary blob and see if more/vi works. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
