But you could include this suggestion as an example pwrctl-local? I have another problem, I had to put ifup and ifdown in my pwrctl-local. Do you think this belongs there or would it be a good idea to put "ifdown -a" and "ifup -a" in pwrctl? > > I'm not sure I like the noatime remount as default for the clueless user. > Holding off on cron while on battery is a good idea, but I won't introduce > a dependency on anacron for it.

You could add a test "[-x /usr/sbin/anacron] && exit" or something like that into on_ac_power and not a dependency but a suggest for anacron. just my 2 cents - gaudenz
