For example, with these options: # apmd -d -t 60 -z It took *5* minutes to suspend the machine. In my first tests I passed bigger values to -t (120 seconds) what made me think -Z was ignored. Not a dev here but I try to learn when I have time. I took a look to /src/usr.sbin/apmd/ampd.c, I see there is a loop (line 507) where the limit passed to -t is checked, then if AC is not connected the autoaction is executed. Time seems to be handled with a system call (kevent), that's beyond my basic C knowledge. :-) Perhaps some other checking in this loop add delays, just guessing. Walter

Eventualy it does suspend, but much later than when the battery life goes below the specified value. dell# pgrep -fl apmd 13368 /usr/sbin/apmd -A -z 93 -t 60 77336 man -m /home/hans/man apmd dell# apm Battery state: high, 90% remaining, 217 minutes life estimate A/C adapter state: not connected Performance adjustment mode: auto (800 MHz) This should suspend already, right? Eventualy, Aug 9 18:05:22 dell apmd: estimated battery life 89%, autoaction limit set to 93% .

Yes, manual standby/suspend/hibernate and resume works perfectly on this machine too. On Aug 04 11:43:19, ed...@pettijohn-web.com wrote: > Is your laptop plugged in during the tests?

First of all, thank you for answering. :-) The cable is plugged to a multiple socket that has and interrupter. I cut the energy from there while doing the tests, mainly because I'm interested it work in that way. I'm not an electricity expert but I think I understand why you're asking that question.

Re: ampd(8) -Z option
I’ve also wrestled with this same issue and am eager to hear the responses. I did have much better results after adding -t 60 to my flags. I suspect my not exactly new x220’s battery was going from my given percentage to zero in less time than the default polling time of 10mins. I’m not sure mine is completely sorted out. I do find a dead laptop from time to time. ~Bryan

ampd(8) -Z option
Hello, Since years I've been using a shell script of mine to shutdown my laptop when battery is critical. Convenient because I made it portable among unix-like systems. In the case of OpenBSD the script asks battery and AC status to apm(4). Now I gave a try to the apmd(8) -Z option but, so far, I couldn't make it work in a reliable way. I added to rc.conf.local: apmd_flags="-A -Z 20" But, after doing some tests, sometimes it works, other it seems like it's totally ignored. Curious because power management seems to work fine in my T410. It sleeps, resumes and hibernates perfectly. /var/log/messages and 'apmd -d' don't show significant errors. Do I need to set something else, add some -t value to ampd command or some script to /etc/apm? Walter
