Hi, I am trying to cut down my electricity bills. I'd like to be able to suspend my desktop when it detects no activity for 30 min.
I have the apmd package installed, but I get the message # apm: suspend was vetoed For example, overnight I will have a dozen of these messages on the console. Also, doing # apm -s gives # apm: suspend was vetoed # apm: device or resource busy Here is the syslog entry: ======================================================================= Sep 8 11:54:45 debian apmd[287]: apmd_call_proxy: Executing proxy: '/etc/apm/apmd_proxy' 'suspend' 'user' Sep 8 11:54:46 debian apmd[287]: apmd_call_proxy: + Saving the System Clock time to the Hardware Clock... Hardware Clock updated to Sun Sep 8 11:54:46 EDT 2002.

System Clock set. Local time: Sun Sep 8 11:54:48 EDT 2002 ======================================================================= It's likely that not a lot of desktop users care to put their machine into suspend, but I am still hoping some of the laptop users can shed some light on this. I have googled around, but haven't seen anything that explains this with any satisfaction. Thanks, Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
