acpitool also supports suspending.

I need some kind of alarm system in dwm, as my laptop has already
turned off several times due to running out of battery.
I thought of different possibilities. Maybe some kind of popup that is
displayed on every tag. Or letting the blue window title area blink
red. In combination with so
acpid
e.g.
==
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/acpi/default.sh
# Default acpi script that takes an entry for all actions
. /home/peterjh/.bash_functions
# How long to wait once the lid is closed before going into suspend
LID_STALL=60
# How low can we go.
BAT_LIMIT=325
# script
HIB_SCRIPT=/home/peterjh/bin/hib.s
Check the 'simple monitors' page at dwm.suckless.org for a battery
percentage display. It doesn't blink or any silly crap like that, though.

Also have a look at my idea shown on the ML on 04 Dec 2010 (I
forwarded you a copy of the message).

Thanks for your answer. acpid is a good idea, as it also works when
dwm hasn't been started. But it only solves the problem of detecting
low battery, not of the way of alarming. In your script, you're
directly suspending your

My w510 doesn't buzz, but the battery light on the back of the lid (what a
great place to place it) turns yellow when I have a low battery.

Yes, I'm sure. I would have heard it, I'm not deaf. I just checked the bios
options, there's nothing in there. What model do you have?

T400.
Last time battery died on me was when I
muted laptop and forgot about it.
It is usually really loud, and kicks in
around 3% battery

Thinkpads get an orange battery light at 'low' and the light beings to
flash at 'critical.'
Anyway, just have whatever is updating your statusbar check the

You would need to add `sudo pm-hibernate` or whatever you use to
hibernate to the last if statement.

It does sometimes. It certainly did when I ran out of battery while
using Windows, and if i'm not mistaken, it already
I prefer tux on ice, I get a nice progress bar and the ability to
cancel hibernation.
Bit more effort since you need to patch the kernel, but there's a git
repository you can clone at kernel.org
Rob.
A progress bar?
When I suspend my laptop using "acpitool -s", it takes about 2
seconds. No time for a progressbar.

This solution seems to work great (part of my .xinitrc):
while true; do
# Set root title
sh $HOMEDIR/.xsetroot
# Check battery level
BATT=$( acpi -b | sed 's/.*[charging|unknown],
\([0-9]*\)%.*/\1/gi' )
if [ $BATT -le 5 ]; then
I've also been using s2ram, it gets called by the lm_lid acpi event.
I didn't even know there were all these alternatives.
I have no need for hibernation, because I'm never in standby mode for
more than a few days.
