PM-POWERSAVE(8)                                       pm-utils User Manual                                       PM-POWERSAVE(8)



NAME
       pm-powersave - Put your computer into low power mode

SYNOPSIS
       pm-powersave [{true | false}]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the pm-powersave command.

       pm-powersave can be used to set your system into low power mode.

OPTIONS
       true
           Put the computer into low power mode to reduce energy consumption and extend your laptop's battery life.

       false
           Turn off low power mode.

FILES
       /etc/pm/power.d/, /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/
           When you run pm-powersave it combines the scripts in these two directories and executes them in sorted order. If both
           directories contain a script with the same name, the one in /etc/pm/power.d/ has a higher precedence and only this
           one will be executed.

           Therefore to disable a script from /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/ simply create an empty file in /etc/pm/power.d/ with
           the same name and without the executable bit set.

SEE ALSO
