I've just installed this package.
Am I supposed to add now "/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo=1" in /etc/sysfs.conf?
Or maybe via a specific file in /etc/sysfs.d/ instead (I presume this directory is setup so changes are not overwritten during an upgrade)?
I hope it's going to work because it seems that sysfs is sometimes triggered too late to be taken into account correctly, on Ubuntu 12.04.3 at least (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysfsutils/+bug/955918).
I'm not used at all to systool and I'm very suprised to see there is almost no documentation/tutorial about it on the internet.
People probably probe /sys directly to get what they are looking for...

You get it right, I had laptop-mode-tools installed indeed! Well done ;)You know what, I've just uninstalled this package. Frankly I was not really happy with the concept anyway. As I don't have motivation/time to understand every kinds of tweaks it operates exactly, I prefer it doesn't modify my system just to save some % of battery.
