Thanks to the beautiful simplicity of the Linux /proc directory I was able to find: cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state The "charging state" field there will contain "charging" or "discharging". Now if we can turn up a Win command line solution I'll write a handler for this that'll make it convenient to get this info on all three platforms. Martin, thanks for handling the Mac side - nice work.
