Hello! Is there some walkthrough to configure apm to do everything to lower power consumption (i.e. turn off hard drives, set the cpu to low power mode, switch off the monitor, whatever else) even if I'm not using a laptop?
It could be interesting to have a server (e.g. a print server, or a local diald masquerading connection manager, or an intranet web server, or both) that needs not to be switched off after work time, but can use the least possible power when inactive until maintenance time overnight, and sit sleeping again until the first connection the next morning: what are all the exact things I need to do for this? How can I configure apm (I found no configuration files for it, except the two empty suspend.d/resume.d directories in /etc/apm)? Where do I disable writing --MARK-- lines in log files (that cause hard disks activity and turn them on)? What are slink's standard periodical events (e.g. mail checks) that I should disable, or set not to be run beyond work time, or better, not to be be run when the system is in low-power mode? Is this last thing possible, and if it is, how? And now, some more specific troubleshooting: When going back and forth from X I get this message on console: apm: set display ready: Unrecognized device ID while, instead of a monitor switchoff after the usual 10 (?) minutes being idle, I get this: apm: set display standby: Unrecognized device ID Why? What do they mean? Why isn't my monitor switched off and how can I get it to do it? OTOH X's dpmi is working well. Bye and TYA, Enrico -- GPG public key available on finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]
