Re: No fsck in battery mode

It's /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state on my system.
Adding:
                                                                                
#
# see if ac is online
#
                                                                                
if grep "on-line" /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/ACAD/state > /dev/null 2>&1
then
        echo "AC is on-line"
else
        echo "AC offline"
        rootcheck=no
fi
                                                                                
to line 39 of /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh (after where a load of variables are set) does what you want, at least on my system.
                                                                                
BTW acpi is built into the kernel, you may find that /proc/acpi/* don't
exist until after the modules are loaded.
                                                                                
HTH, and cheers for a good idea!
