Hello, I have some basic questions about acpi.
When I had a machine that used apm, I would use apm/apmd to run something apm -s to suspend the machine, and apm by itself to query the battery power (actually, I was using the KDE power-saving options to configure this, but the result is the same). What are the equivelent commands in the acpi realm? I attempted to run: echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep This came out of an acpi linux howto with a date of 2001, so I don't know how up to date it is. The result of the above command was a long blink on the screen and then everything came right back. The only evidence I have that acpid is doing anything is that the machine shuts all the way down when I run halt. Supposing I can use ACPI to run an S1/sleep suspend (as I have it configured in the bios, and as I've read is possible), can I also finetune when/how the machine suspends (harddisk, display, etc.)? Supposedly, (in the bios) I have wake on lan configured. Can this be made to respond to any lan request? For example, one of my machines is basically a print server (among other things). I feel like I'd save on energy if it wasn't sitting there humming along all day waiting for one or two print requests. Can this machine be configured to suspend itself after a given amount of activity, and then wake up upon a print or ssh request? My understanding is that wol is simpler than I'm hoping it is. Apparently another machine with the correct wol client can just ask a mac address to wake it's machine, but it doesn't get much more sophisticated than that. Am I understanding this correctly? thanks, dave m. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
