Apmd would benefit of the included patches. One is to correct a bug: apmd ignores termination signals. The other one introduces a new feature. With the -s flag apmd simulate a POWERSTATECHANGE event when a power state change is detected (AC_POWER_STATE) but the bios of the laptop doesn't report it. This enables you to do things like dimming the LCD backlight when you unplug the power cord. How-To-Repeat: To verify the bug: killall apmd To verify the new feature add this to your /atc/apmd.conf: apm_event POWERSTATECHANGE { exec "/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/my-preferred-power-state-change-script"; }
