I would like to have a laptop shut itself down 10 minutes after it switches from ac power to battery. I have RH 7.3 on the laptop and apmd is installed and running. I can query apmd to get the amount of time left on the battery and it will warn me and put the laptop into standby when the battery gets down to a few minutes left. I also want it to shut itself off when the battery gets too low instead of going into standby. This is a laptop that I am using to play ogg vorbis files in my car. I've read the man pages on apm and apmd as well as poked around the config files in etc/sysconfig/apm (that's an approximation of the directory as I'm not near the machine now to verify it exactly) and haven't found what I need to make this work. I'm thinking of having the apm daemon just call shutdown with a 10 minute timeline when it notices that it's on battery. Has anyone done something like this before? Any tips, warnings, etc? All ideas appreciated. Thanks. Rob
