Hello
Is it possible to automatically turn off usb mouse (especially turn off red light), when not using computer for a long period (for example, over night)?
How to do this manually?

Disconnect the mouse by unplugging it.

zing!
But seriously short of that, from http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml:
| Quote: | The kernel offers an experimental option to enable suspension of USB devices through driver calls or one of the power/state files in /sys. | Code: | Device Drivers
USB support
[*] Support for Host-side USB
[*] USB suspend/resume (EXPERIMENTAL) |
|
Hopefully this gives you a place to start. |

If anybody else is interested, how to turn off usb mouse, then try this:
go to
/sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb
execute
$ echo -n 1-1 >bind
to turn off mouse (1-1 is number of usb device (in my case)).
to turn it back on:
$ echo -n 1-1 >unbind |
