Severity: wishlist
RFP
* Package name : powerzz
Version : 1.0.1
Upstream Author : AdoraDeal LLC

Programming Lang: (bash)
Description : powerzz is a battery power monitor. It will warn the
user of low battery power when the charge level reaches 15%, and it will
start the critical action when the battery charge level reaches 7% (at that
point, a warning will be shown and the user will have 30 seconds to cancel
the critical action by pressing "Cancel"). This program has 3 settings,
which can be chosen via a zenity gui: "off" (do nothing), critical action
"hibernate" and critical action "shutdown". It uses cron to run. A simple &
useful power manager for LXDE and other desktops.
depends on: zenity, wmctrl, acpi, upower
Notes from Jamil Said (AdoraDeal LLC): we use this program internally and
also install it in all AdoraDeal computers. It has been extensively tested
and we know of no bug present. This program was designed to exit graciously
in case something goes wrong, thus it is very unlikely that an error will
crash anything. We designed this package because we needed the capability
and there was nothing similar available on Debian, at least not for LXDE. We
will maintain the code in our website and will be glad to submit to you when
a change happens; we do not want to be involved with the packaging and
maintaining on Debian. if anyone finds a bug, I will be glad to hear about
and fix it as needed.
