In Oz, we typically refer to "mains power" and not "line power". Maybe:
- battery-power
- mains-power (or line-power)
I've not got anything that does apm stuff, but is there the concept of
something that gets called when battery power is low? Then we could
have a "battery-low" script (with a corresponding "battery-ok" script??)
as well.
Also, are the path names to the scripts configurable (either by
environment variables or a config file)?
Just some random mutterings.
Simon.
