I think I still use it to this day for all my laptops to check the battery status and put the laptop to sleep. The commands I use are apm and zzz, and they still work. What would be replacement commands ? > To that end, I'm looking for actual users of this APM that have used the > technology successfully in FreeBSD 12.0 or newer. I can experiment and even can provide you remote access to laptops of that kind. -- p...@opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 Now what ? _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
