I have apm + apmd installed on my notebook. I can successfully "apm -s" from command line and resume by pressing the power on button. I want the system to automatically suspend when x minutes of battery time remain. I read the man for apmd and apm but still couldn't figure this one out. I did some googling but didn't manage to narrow the searches down to what I wanted. alex -- Alex Polite http://plusseven.com/gpg
