Yes, I did get that message: > Thanks to the beautiful simplicity of the Linux /proc directory I was > able to find: > > cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state > > The "charging state" field there will contain "charging" or "discharging". Question: this looks like a file on disk. I didn't know what you meant by the "'charging state' field." What is the format of the file? Is this a text file, an XML file, or something else? If you could give me a sample to look at I can parse it to get the info and complete the handler. I don't have a linux system to work with for this. -- Peter Peter M.
