 |
|
Hi all,
I'd like to make my linux machine sleep after its been idle for some amount of time.
I have apm working, and I can force the machine to sleep (i.e. apm -s works fine)
Is there a script or daemon that will call
after some specified amount of idle time?
I've looked through portage stuff and I can't find anything relevant.
Thanks! |

Have a look at bug 127629. I provided an ebuild for sleepd 1.3.5 which does exactly this. I use it with ACPI but it is prepared for APM also. If you have a laptop, it should work out of the box.
If you have a desktop computer, change /etc/conf.d/sleepd to
| Code: | | SLEEPDOPTIONS='-U 3600' |
to set the idle time to 1 hour.
Look here http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds to learn how to install the ebuild to your system because it is not yet in portage.
See also
| Code: | # man sleepd
# man sleepctl |
for further information.
Please let me know how it worked for you.
Regards,
Christian. |
