Hi Rafael,
The man page looks good. Here's some more comments:
" PowerTOP averages the amount of activity that is preventing the CPU
from
entering a lower power state and presents it on the "Wakeups-from-idle
per second" field. This value represents the total number of events
divided by the current interval. Notice that not all events are
displayed on the screen at all times."
Actually, because all firing cyclics are displayed (without -i), does
the value represent
the number of times a CPU awoke from a lower power idle state?
"
If running as root (superuser), the tool will make suggestions as how
the system can be improved from a power management perspective."
root..or are the specific privileges that would work?
Thanks,
-Eric
